WOW, these are great! I missed the part about boiling them first, and when I was eating them, I was wishing they were a little softer. Lol, I think the boiling first will accomplish that ; ) Or maybe roast them in the oven for a few minutes. I used fat free cream cheese. The cheese holds the bacon on quite nicely too : ) excellent recipe! Thanks!

These are the most wonderful peppers! I used fat free cream cheese and stirred Oscar Mayer bacon bits into the filling. My kids love them which is suprising because they normally won't eat peppers! The hubby loves them and he absolutely HATES cream cheese. I had to beg him to try one and now he is in love! Thank you so much for the wonderful, simple, healthy recipe!!!

What a great appettizer! These were so easy, too! The creaminess of the cheeses and the smokiness of the bacon really complimented the heat of the jalapenos. These are definately a keeper at my house. One note, though, it is a good idea to wear gloves while seeding the peppers...the oils of the peppers will make your fingers burn.

These are rich and tasty little suckers. I've never seen a stuffed jalapeno recipe where they are boiled before baking so I was intrigued. I was afraid they would turn out too limp but they held up just fine. I reduced the recipe by half and used regular cheddar and reduced fat cream cheese. These are surprisingly mild so anyone who doesn't like spicy stuff there is no need to fear these — in fact I wish they had had a bit more heat to them. These are a healthier alternative to many stuffed peppers as they aren't breaded (which is good for low carbers like me) and aren't deep fried. Easy, rich and delicious. Thanks Cher!
