I'm intrigued by the idea of adding the jalapeños and bacon. That sounds like a good idea. I might try something with that.

Do you roast whole peppers, or do you slice them first, or do you use pickled ones?

I had a creamy version like this at a steakhouse in OK when I was there and it was dynamite. Came home and made it a few times using varying recipes with some tweaks.

I roast whole fresh jalapenos. When they get nice and black blistered, I throw them in a ziploc bag, seal it and allow them to steam. The skin comes right off after that. I split them and scrape off the seeds and puree or chop or mush them up. A good thick smoky bacon fried crispy and chopped is what I used.
