69 Reviews of Baked Texas Jalapeño Peppers

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!

These are definitely addicting! We used jalapenos from our garden. They were a little smaller but still very good! Be careful when seeding jalapenos; wear kitchen gloves or your fingers will burn for days!! I did not boil the peppers. I just cleaned and filled them; then baked @ 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

These were so simple and a great way to use up our bumper crop of jalapenos. I seeded the peppers under running water, which really kept my eyes & throat from burning. I too lined my cookies sheets with foil, and I also stuck the peppers in the freezer for about 20 minutes, which seemed to help keep the cheese mixture from running as they cooked. The flavor combo is great, and we will definitely make them again. Thanks, Cher!!

These were very good! I used my fingers to press the filling in and cheated by using a jar of Hormel bacon pieces instead of cooking bacon. I did, however grease the pan with Pam and they were definatly soggy due to this. I won't make that mistake next time - which will be soon! Thanks Cher!

Absolutely loved these - we used Jalapenos the first time and almost had to evacuate when boiling them without a lid, none of us could breathe, so be sure to use a lid when boiling. The second time we used green bell peppers and they tasted pretty much the same without the hotness while boiling and I tend to have green peppers around more than jalapenos. I think we will probably be making these quite a bit - thanks for posting!!!

These were good. We actually had them tonight as a side dish. Shelly made half the recipe, but they are pretty rich so we will be having some for snacks. I think the boiling of the peppers knocked out all of the heat unless our jalapenos weren't hot to begin with. I think we will experiment with less boiling time. These would make a fantastic appetizer.

I first made these a couple of weeks ago and they were absolutely wonderful. The second time I made them I didn't boil the peppers because we like them a little crispy. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for the great and easy recipe.

Great recipe! My co-workers, however, wanted more zing to it. So I added few things. I added: onion, chopped(1/2 cup) green onion, chopped(1/4 cup) garlic, minced(8 cloves) crushed red pepper(2 tbsp) cilantro, chopped(1/4 cup) black olives, chopped(12) salt(1 tsp or to taste) and I topped with sourcream. if this sound too comlicated, i would just add salt to bring out the flavor of the cheese. Also, we tried boiling pepper in 1,2,3,4,and 5 minutes. It worked best with 1 minute. After 2 minutes , pepper was too soggy.

These were outstanding and really easy to make. I didn't boil them either. I baked them at 350 for about 30 min instead. I took this appetizer to a potluck and they were gone in a hurry.
