Zesty Burger Puffs Recipe Rating 0

I first tried these puffs while visiting a friend, who made them for her family as a treat during the Depression. When I see a new recipe, I like to experiment with it to make it my own. - Joyce, Wichita, Kansas

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 4 eggs
  • FILLING:
  • 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped jalapeno peppers
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, bring water, butter and salt to a boil. Add flour and cornmeal all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes.
