What’s not to love…hot and bubbly bacon and cheese with a little spice! I served this for my grandson’s 5th birthday party and was surprised how fast it disappeared. Both children and adults dug in. The jalapenos that I picked from my yard were not too hot. I will make this recipe again for a football party and add 6 peppers instead of 4 for more spice.
