Instructions
Preheat your grill to about 350 to 450 degrees F.
Place your grilling stone on the grill, over direct heat.
Slap some butter on the stone.
Pop the bacon on first and allow to cook for about 3 to 5 minutes.
In a large bowl mix the jalapeno peppers, shallots, onion, red pepper, chipotle, salt and pepper. Combine well.
Toss that onion mixture on the stone. Use tongs to move it around.
Add the oil and then toss the cheese on top.
Let the cheese bubble and melt for about 4 to 6 minutes. I like mine with crispy bits but you can remove yours sooner.
You can transfer to a bowl for dipping or pour over other appetizers.
Enjoy with a big old cheesy smile.
