How to Make

This Texas fudge is so easy to make.

Just whisk the eggs, milk and flour together in a large mixing bowl until everything is combined.

Then whisk in the rest of the ingredients.

Pour the mixture out in an even layer into a 7×11″ baking dish you’ve sprayed with nonstick spray.

Bake at 350° for 35 minutes until the cheese is melted, everything is cooked through, and the top is lightly golden.

At this point, take the dish out of the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

Slice it into squares, serve, and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

  • The bacon is optional but highly recommended.
  • For a twist, you could sub the jalapenos for canned, diced chilis.
  • Make sure you don’t skip the resting time. The cheese needs time to firm up.
