Stuffed jalapenos are so good. I’ve made them several times, (my friend Amy’s Stuffed Jalapeno recipe is wonderful!) but sometimes I’m just too lazy to go through the process. So I embrace the laziness and make Stuffed Jalapeno Pepper Dip instead.
The dip gives you that same awesome taste except it’s ready in just minutes. You gotta’ love that, right?
