Perfect as an appetizer, party snack, or cozy comfort food. Easy to make, crowd-pleasing, and absolutely delicious!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 lb (450g) pork mince (ground pork)
    • 1 packet French onion soup mix (or 1 cup sautéed onions + 1 tsp onion powder)
    • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
    • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
    • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

    Instructions

    1. Preheat Oven: Set oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
    2. Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine pork mince, French onion soup mix, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and cracked black pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • For the Chicken: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    • 1 cup buttermilk
    • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

    3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat (about 350°F).
