Jenn and I were discussing Superbowl munchies that we "shouldn't " eat. She found this recipe online, and I just had to make it, especially after we were invited to our neighbor's for a Superbowl Party. I mean,...cheese, peppers and bacon? How could it be bad? I was a tad nervous taking these to party that we sure to be chock-full of PA natives ( ie. not spicy-friendly people), but went for it anyway, making sure to scrape out as much of the seeds/ribs as I could to minimize the spiciness. The smell from the oven was amazing, and the peppers were a hit, even among the spice-hesitant locals! This recipe is a keeper for its minimal ingredients, ease, and huge approval. I will be making these again! Use whatever spices you like in the cheese, or none at all. I used chipotle powder and a tad of cajun blackening seasoning, and they were super tasty. Enjoy! PS. Packers won,....possibly because everything at our party had cheese in it?
