I rarely repeat dinner recipes. I mean, I have my basics (baked chicken or fish being my go-tos) but there's so many things out there to make, I rarely have difficulty finding new things to try.
Apps are a different story. I get in app ruts. I have the dips I like and sometimes I don't want to branch out. I'm glad I did with these because they were gooo-oood, Clark. And easy to make too.
One of my requirements for apps is that they are able to be assembled in advance of people being there. We had them for the Super Bowl and I prepped and assembled them in advance so all I had to do was pop them in the oven. I got the original recipe here.
Ingredients
1 tube crescent rolls
2 jalapenos, seeded and diced. Use more or less to your taste. I cut these a day in advance - and in the name of all that is holy don't touch your eyes for the rest of the day after cutting them
8 slices bacon, chopped and cooked till crisp - I did this a day in advance too.
About half of a brick of cream cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment
paper.
Open can of crescent rolls and separate each roll along the
perforation. Cut each triangle in half.
Smear cream cheese (amount of your choice, I just eyeballed it) on each roll and top with a few pieces of
diced jalapeno (the amount depends on the amount of heat you want) and crumbled
bacon.
Gather the edges of the dough up and pinch them together. Poke, prod, and do what you will to make sure all the filling is inside.
Place the ball of dough seam side down and bake for about 12-13
minutes or until golden brown.

They're coming in hot.
Jalapenos are awesome...
but can burn your butt.
