Servings: 40 Comments: This Texan treat may look HOT, but when the peppers' seeds & membranes are removed, most of the heat is too. Removal of seeds/membranes is best done outdoors or in a well-ventilated space, ie. open a window. When working with hot peppers, wear rubber gloves to protect sensitive fingers. Be careful to not rub your eyes.

5 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded or cut in tiny chunks, at room temp

8 strips (about 6 ounces) thin-sliced bacon, cut in half lengthwise, then crosswise in thirds
Directions: Cheese filling
Mix cheeses, Worcestershire sauce & onion until well-blended, with electric mixer or food processor. (May be covered & refrig'd up to 1 week.)
