I grabbed a couple of packs of Ball Park over the weekend and came up with a fantastic recipe I thought I would share with you guys. Now, we know Ball Park are the most grilled hot dog…and I do love a Ball Park Frank on the grill but sometimes you have to change it up a bit – right? I decided to whip up some corn dogs for my boys. I rarely pull out my deep fryer so I thought…I might just make some jalapeño poppers while I have that baby out. Then, it hit me…what if I combined the two and made Jalapeno Corn Dog Poppers?

A new recipe was born and let me tell you – those poppers were fantastic! Now I didn’t even bother using my Ball Park Lean Franks for this recipe. I figured since I was throwing those babies in oil I’d go ahead and just use the Angus Franks – tee hee!
