Visit the Matador Stuffed Pepper Factory

Travel with Bennett-Watt and discover the Matador stuffed pepper factory.

Host: Betty and Cliff Wood started selling—30 years ago. Betty Wood: This is our peppery. We start with—we cut them away in—a million ham and they're stacked one at a time by hand. Then we have to peel them, you see that? My husband used to make—of sandwich or two or these peppers. This is a very minute portion of our production here but this, full of cheese—I might save it. After the peppers are peeled, then the kitchen the stocking if it’s the beef or the cheese or whatever and then we have this proportion machines. We put the product in there and that’s how—-guillotine for weight, proportion the two ounce, one ounce, five ounce, whatever they put in the fry pan and then they're going to stuff it. After they stuff, this is the—stuffing and they come here. They're ready to be breaded now. This is a—of bread in the machine. we’ll put the—down through at the end and then we are packed ready to ship all over the world. Here’s the finished product. That’s my pride and joy. It’s ready to be dropped in a fryer and cooked and ready to it but this is the way 99% of our business goes out to the distributors and they sell it to the restaurants and—and they cook them in their fryers in the restaurant.
