Cheese Sweet Hot Peppers and Corn - a unique delicious combination
I adapted this recipe from one I found in Diabetic Living magazine. The blue cheese in this recipe was the decision-maker for me. It sounded and looked so good!
I decided, however, that instead of just sweet peppers I was going to also use jalapeno to give it a sweet heat combination. This Cheesy Sweet-Hot Peppers and Corn dish turned out creamy, delicious and full of cheesy sweet heat!
Easy to make low carb slow cooker recipe
This recipe is a slow cooker recipe and my first thought was I would not use the slow cooker. However, since I was making this on a Saturday and I was going to be home all day, I decided to go ahead and use it.
The cook time in the slow cooker is only 3 hours so this makes it a great recipe for Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner, where you will be home the entire day and won't need to worry about something overcooking.
What did Grumpy think about this recipe?
Grumpy did try this dish and his verdict was he didn't care for it (probably the blue cheese). I loved it, Grumpy's dad loved it (he ate half of the recipe!).
So, if you love blue cheese, then you probably would love this dish. I know its a definite keeper for me and I will definitely serve it at parties or for dinner guests. I would just have to make another side dish to keep Grumpy happy!
