Bacon Jalapeño Popper Cheese Bread

Bacon Jalapeño Popper Cheese Bread: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

When I told my husband what bread I was making to go with dinner, his response was not particularly a thrilled one. The love of anything jalapeño popper related is mine and all mine. It is not that my husband does not like them, but he does not have the deep love of them like I do.

However once my husband tried the bread, he changed his mind and even came back for more. He really enjoyed this bread. It is a dense bread without being heavy, that is cheesy, slightly spicy and loaded with bacon.

  • 2 cups cooked and crumbled turkey bacon
