I used banana peppers out of my garden - very tasty! Not as much heat as jalapenos, of course, but still good.

    These are so good I've made them 2 days in a row. Super yummy and easy. Made as directed (mostly). Added a little garlic powder and I didn't add bacon..didn't miss it either.

    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!
