I personally just think they help them stand up as I cut the tops off the peppers and stuff the cheese in.
If they lay down it seems that more cheese is lost by melting out.
When I use the stand very little cheese is lost.
I don't really see a difference in helping the bacon in anyway but more about the cheese or stuffing.
Thank you for sharing that recipe. It really is appreciated. Gonna make these on the camping trip this weekend. Got a couple PBR's that'll work perfect in this.
I posted it on page 1 but here you go for your reference.
1 cup good full flavor beer (light beer is not your friend in flavor here) I used a Shiner Bock
Light beer will not add any flavor and just taste like cheese dip
½ pound shredded sharp cheddar cheese ½ pound shredded smoked gouda cheese 2 cloves minced garlic 1 teaspoon mustard powder ½ teaspoon fresh crack black pepper ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper ¼ teaspoon salt Dash of hot sauce Dash of Worcestershire sauce
Pour beer into a food processor and pulse a couple time just to release the carbonization. Add all other ingredients in the food processor and pulse until fully mixed and creamy.
At that point your ready to eat but it is a TON better to let set overnight.
