This recipe was so delicious, I'm still thinking about it. My whole family is still raving about it. I doubled everything as there are 4 of us. I used bacon, tomato, black olives, onion, jalapenas and sharp cheddar. Our grill is small and I was grilling pork chops so I cooked these as follows: Boiled as directed for 7 minutes. Cooled, scooped out pulp. Placed on foil lined baking sheet, filled with mixture. Put oven on 450 degrees, baked until starting to sizzle, turned broiler on just a few minutes to braize! Amazing!j You won't be disappointed.
