Hannaford Sliced Jalapeno Pepperoni
What it is
This is a package of thinly sliced pepperoni that has been infused with jalapeno pepper. The pepperoni itself is a cured sausage, typically made from pork and beef, seasoned with paprika and other spices. The addition of jalapeno brings a distinct spicy heat and a subtle pepper flavor to the classic pepperoni taste. The slices are ready to use straight from the package, offering convenience for quick meal preparation.
How people cook with it
This pepperoni is a versatile ingredient that can add a spicy kick and savory flavor to a variety of dishes.
- Topping for pizza
- Added to pasta dishes
- Included in sandwiches
- Snack on its own
These pepperoni slices are designed for immediate use in cooking. They can be scattered directly onto pizza dough before baking, where they will crisp up and release their flavorful oils. For pasta dishes, they can be added during the last few minutes of cooking or sautéed briefly to enhance their spice. In sandwiches, they provide a zesty layer of flavor. They can also be enjoyed as a spicy snack, either on their own or with cheese and crackers.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard pepperoni, these slices offer a noticeable level of heat from the jalapeno peppers. While regular pepperoni has a mild spice, the jalapeno version provides a more pronounced and lingering warmth, along with a slightly vegetal pepper note that complements the savory meat.

How to keep the rest
