In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.

Copy this hot and spicy snack from TGI Friday's at home! Jalapeno slices are deep fried with a crispy coating. Eat them plain or serve with a dipping sauce.

1 can (26 ounce size) sliced jalapeno peppers (not the pickled kind)
2 2/3 cups cracker crumbs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup water
vegetable oil
Drain the jalapenos well, spread out on paper towels, and set aside.
Combine the cracker crumbs and flour in a shallow bowl. Mix well to combine.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the water until frothy.
Heat oil as needed in a deep pan or deep fryer to 375 degrees F.
Dip the jalapeno slices first in the egg mixture and then in the crumb mixture. Shake off any excess crumbs and then place in the hot oil. Do not crowd the jalapenos in the oil, work in batches as needed.
Cook the jalapenos until golden brown then remove with a slotted spoon to paper toweling to drain.
Serve the jalapeno fire bites hot with your favorite dipping sauce (ranch dip is delicious!) or like TGI Friday's does with warm queso.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
