Jalapeno Popper Pizzas-Pampered Chef
"I have made these a few times & always get rave reviews from my husband and friends. Add more jalapenos if you like them super spicy. The sauteeing & the cream cheese tend to mellow the heat of the jalapenos. I leave the seeds & membrane on the jalapeno to maximize on the heat. ENJOY!"

These are DELICIOUS. I make them all the time and they get eaten up so fast! I always use the thin crust pizza dough, and that way you don't need to stretch it out.. just cut and go. Also, I think it's plenty spicy with just one jalapeno. -
the first time i made these they were amazing the only thing i thought they could use was more jalapenos
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a stay at home mommy of 2. I was raised in St. Jacobs, Ontario, Canada. My favorite cookbook comes from the public school I went to in St. Jacobs. I love it because the recipes are personal ones that are tried and true! I love to cook, bake, can, etc. I consider myself really fortunate to have been raised in an area where home baking and canning where the norm. I watched my mom and grandma preparing homemade jams and pickles every year and I caught the "bug". I really enjoy simple, delicious recipes! However, if a recipe is amazing I don't mind putting the extra time and expense into it.
