This is a great go-to recipe for a great appetizer. I follow the recipe exactly and it’s great every time.

Wow, the drunken peppers sound like such a nice touch! These could easily evolve into Cuervo & Carona burgers – catchy, right?!

These look really yummy! You mentioned tequila but it doesn’t appear in the recipe… I definitely want to try these, but I need to know how much tequila to use because, well, not having tequila is not a problem in my house, haha!

Suzi,

The original recipe from Cara’s blog uses Tequila. I didn’t have any in the house, so the recipe I posted is the adaptation that I made instead. Click here to see Cara’s original version.

I was just wondering if it mattered what type of oatmeal we used in the recipe. Instant, slow cooking?
