These are the PERFECT potluck dish to bring to any dinner or BBQ! 

 10 jalapenos
 1 package of cream cheese (8 oz)
 1 c. shredded cheese
 1/2 tsp. Cajun seasoning
 1 lb. bacon (uncooked) or crumbled bacon

Cut the jalapenos in half and remove all the seeds.  (TIP – Be sure not to touch or rub eyes while working and wash hands well when done.)

Once the seeds are removed, fill jalapeno halves with cream cheese mixture.

CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE – Mix cream cheese, shredded cheese and Cajun seasoning in a bowl.  If you’re using crumbled bacon, just throw it in with the mixture and proceed to cook them.

Top with bacon and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.  (Makes 20 stuffed jalapenos)

 1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese
 1 can (4 oz) Green Chilies diced
 1 tablespoon Chives minced
 1/4 teaspoon Salt – have this
 1/4 teaspoon Ground cumin

In a bowl, combine the cheeses, chilies, chives, salt and cumin. Spoon into cups. Top with olives. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve warm.
