Green Chile Cheese Bread

This has become my go to savory quick bread recipe! It's fantastic! And it's so versatile. We tried it just this past week with Mozzarella, cheddar, bacon and chives. YUM! Try this recipe today! You will not be disappointed! :o)

• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cubed cheddar & Monterey jack cheese
• 1 cup whole milk
• ⅓ cup oil
• 1 egg
• 4oz can chopped green chiles
• 1 Tablespoon finely chopped jalapenos (I usually use the jarred jalapenos)

Preheat oven to 375. Grease a 8 inch bread loaf pan. Blend the flour, salt, pepper, sugar and baking powder together in mixer. Add cheese. Pour in the milk, oil, egg, chiles and jalapeno. Blend just until incorporated. Pour into prepared pan and bake about 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden and springs back when touched. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Serve warm with butter.

Jalapeño Poppers

These are so good and so easy. We make them for pretty much any get together or Monday. I've also made this recipe using roasted green chiles. I added some monterey jack to the cream cheese and stuffed the chiles and wrapped in bacon. SO GOOD! Enjoy. :)

• 6-8 jalapenos
• 8oz cream cheese
• 6-8 slices of bacon, cut in half

Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Careful doing this. Some can be really hot and can burn fingers and eyes! You might want to wear gloves just in case. Cut your cream cheese into 12-18 equal squares, depending on how many jalapenos you have. Fill each jalapeno with cream cheese and then wrap with half of bacon. Grill on medium high for 10-15 minutes OR place in greased pan and bake at 400 degrees F. 20-25 minutes. Broil for 5 minutes or so to get them to crisp up.
