I first concocted this recipe about 2 years ago for a big gathering and lets just say the feedback was positive. So when I can include this in a party menu, I do.
I love jalapeno poppers but I can’t really be bothered to stuff them and bread them – I don’t have that kind of time. This is a great way to have all that creamy, cheesy, jalapeno goodness without all of the fuss.
This shot was taken immediately before being served to a group of very hungry people..lets just say I had to cut the photoshoot short, so no photos of the yummy inside or on a chip, just couldn’t make that happen.
much love!
