Pepper jack crackers are easy to make and versatile

What's better than cheese and crackers? Cheese in your crackers! And you can make yummy cheese crackers right in your home kitchen.

In fact, homemade crackers are even easier than most cookies.

The simplest cracker is just flour and water (think water crackers), but I love my crackers rich, cheesy and buttery.

Today's recipe for Pepper Jack Crackers is just right with a little picante punch from the cheese.

Enjoy these Pepper Jack Crackers with your favorite beer, wine, soups, salads or your favorite dip.

You truly can't get better than a Pepper Jack Cracker!
