Y’all. We’ve been making this recipe every single week for several months now. You would think ONE of those times I would have been able to snap a picture to post here, but the strangest thing happened…Every time they went in the oven, I’d tell myself to remember to take a picture for the recipe. Then, as soon as they’d come out of the oven, I’d forget all about taking a picture. It was like I was in a trance…an I-must-eat-them-now-trance. There was a couple of times when we had lots of family over and as soon as I pulled them out of the oven, they were gone…They didn’t even make it to a serving plate or have time to cool. People were burning their mouths so they could get more!
This is my mom’s recipe, but she said I could share it here. And obviously, I FINALLY got a picture, but I almost had to pull these last two jalapeños out of my husband’s mouth to get it!
