Delicious Cheesy Chorizo and Green Chile Bombs Wrapped in Bacon!

Delicious Cheesy Chorizo and Green Chile Bombs Wrapped in Bacon! These chorizo green chile bombs are a fantastic meal, or they would also be a great appetizer for the Superbowl! Or any Gameday, event, occasion! I served these over mashed potatoes with red chile sauce and talk about a flavor explosion! These are a must make over and over again! And it only takes 4 ingredients, 5 if you add garlic! 6 if you want to spice it up! But you can just use green chiles, cheese, chorizo and bacon and you will have one delicious meal/appetizer!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Ground Chorizo. Not the runny tube type. Like ground pork, but Chorizo
• 1 lb Bacon
• 1 14 oz Frozen Hatch Autumn Roast Green Chiles, drained. Roughly 1 and 1/4 cup diced green chiles
• 1 Cup shredded Monterey cheese. I’m using Chihuahua Mexican cheese. You can use our favorite.
• 1 and 1/2 TSP granulated garlic.

Directions:

1. Add the green chiles, cheese, and garlic to a bowl and mix well.
2. Take about a golf ball sized amount and press it together until you can form a ball.
3. Set the cheese and green chile ball on a pan lined with parchment paper.
4. Place the pan with the 4 cheese balls into the freezer for at least two hours.
5. After a couple hours, take the cheese and green chile balls out of the freezer.
6. Take your pound of chorizo and cut into quarters so you have 4 quarter pound pieces.
7. Make a ball with each section of the chorizo, then take a pan or something to smash them flat, thin like a smashburger so you can wrap it around the frozen cheese balls.
8. Wrap the chorizo around the cheese and green chile balls and seal them so the cheese won’t leak out.
9. Wrap the chorizo, cheese and green chile ball with 2 two strips of bacon.
10. You should now have 4 bacon and chorizo wrapped cheese and green chile bombs.
11. Place in your pellet grill, or oven at 300 degrees f for about an hour and 15 minutes. If after one hour your bacon isn’t cooked. Turn up your heat to 320-325 for the last 15 minutes. These will be done when the bacon is cooked. No one wants raw bacon.
12. Optional: You can add BBQ sauce to them at the end of smoking/cooking or dip them in a sauce of your liking.

ENJOY!
