Notes

Note 1: Jarred or fresh can be used. Fresh will be crunchier. Jarred will be softer.

Which to use as far as heat:

The jarred are typically labeled for heat level. If using fresh, the amount of seeds you use will control the heat level. The more seeds, the hotter it will be. If you want to remove the seeds, I find that slicing the jalapeno down the middle and then using a spoon to scoop out the seeds is the easiest method.

Cheese choice:

You can use whatever melting cheese you enjoy best. The options I have enjoyed the most have been a cheddar, cheddar blend with monterey jack cheese and also a pepper jack has been great.
