     These were really good and filling. Be sure not to over boil as the peppers easily get mushy and un-flavorful. The cream cheese helps to keep the cheese on the peppers nicely. They were a tad bit greasy and that's the only reason I didn't give them a 5 star. This is a keeper! - 1/3/09

    If you try using the smoked Gouda I think you'll find them less greasy.

     I made this for my husband and his buddies this past sunday. They were gone in like 5 minutes!!! Amazing recipe....I boiled my jalapenos a little longer to make them milder. - 11/11/08

     These were fantastic! I boiled for 10 minutes and didn't add any seeds. Even my 10 and 7 year old kids loved them! Top notch! - 2/3/17

     Added to favourites! I think I will try baking them without boiling first, though. - 1/25/11

     I have been making these for several years. We use Beef bacon cause we dont eat Pork. Also I have put that cream cheese with pineapple tidbits mixed in - that is also Awesome! - 6/18/10

     I replaced the bacon with Hot Sausage (I do not care for bacon), and omitted the cheese. Cooked the cream cheese and sausage in a skillet and stuffed the whole (seeded & de-veined) pepper. I then baked for 45 minutes @ 400 degrees. Just a little variation. I got the recipe from ChiliGrill.com - 1/7/10
