This is very very yummy! Feel free to use fresh jalapeno peppers. You'll just need to saute them with olive oil for about 5 minutes. I just used pickled because that is what I had in the fridge.
You can also try different cheeses, such as monterey jack, or pepper jack.. or heck, add them all in!

Sounds simply fabulous Sandi........just from reading the ingredients ! Think I'll try it for guests......I'm not supposed to eat anything remotely like this yummy meal ( a-Ha !) Thanks for posting it !
I made this last night and it was SUCH a hit and it will definitely be my new "item I bring to a pot luck". So easy and quick, thank you so much for sharing!
I made this tonight for dinner and it was soooo Good! I did tweak the recipe just alittle bit... I only used 1/2 cup Jalapeño's with the juices! And also I highly recommend adding Salt and Pepper for taste. Love this recipe...
This is interesting, post more often!
