Made the poppers. Baked em too long. Jalapenos were a little wrinkled to start, not very fresh so they were already soft. Couldn't pick one up from an end without it flopping over and separating.
Smashed the cheese side in panko crumbs and broiled to crisp the top. Worked perfectly. The top is now the bottom and they got a nice crunch.
Made dipping sauce too. Sour cream with a ranch dressing seasoning packet, and a spicy one with about a tablespoon of some really funky bite your tongue bleu cheese, a couple scoops of sour cream, some caesar dressing, a dash of powdered garlic, a good splash of Torchbearer's Garlic Reaper sauce and a splash of Puckerbutt's Chocolate Plague sauce.
I ate a couple with the hot dip and I found it hot but reasonable, something at the top end of a well rounded eater's heat tolerance. Wife had one and got a light sweat but said it was really good and not too spicy, so I think it's cleared to go. She is slightly above average spice tolerance, but she used about double the sauce I did, so I figure I'm right on.
I should go to bed but I started a batch of collard greens in my dutch oven on the grill. I got maybe 45 minutes left to go.
