Not a good recipe.November 12, 2008By bookabiney
"Don't ruin your party with this recipe, like I did. It had a grainy, frothy texture (I assume from the flour and cream) that was not well received by my guests. Also, it cooks so long that by the time it's done, any ""heat"" from the peppers is gone and it's very bland."
