  Loved, loved, loved this! My husband didn't want to grill so I cooked them in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes and they came out so delicous. I used smoked gouda cheese, turkey bacon (I prefer real but that's all I had on hand), and regular Italian bread crumbs. Will make again and again - 12/15/09

  We wrapped them in foil and then placed them in a deep skillet on top of the stove. They cooked on high heat for 10-12 minutes. These were easy and yummy. - 12/6/09

  INCREDIBLE!! I used Cubanelle peppers and didn't wrap them in foil. I made them in the oven 350 for 40 minutes and propped them up on a "foil tent" so they didn't ooze everywhere. Really out of this world! and I forgot the bacon. - 5/19/10

  DH and I loved this recipe! I think we may have missed a seed or two, because we had a few VERY hot bites. We will make it again and again. Is it possible to do this in the oven? - 10/21/09

  I do something close to this with jalapeno/Cut them in half,deseed, fill with ff cream cheese, wrap with half slice of turkey bacon, hold together with a toothpick,can be cooked in the oven on 400 for about 30 min or put on grill .If you put on grill watch close as bacon will flare - 1/28/10

  I'm going to cook mine a bit longer this second try so the peppers are so crispy. A hotter grill or longer on the time than 10 cooking minutes were needed. - 8/22/12

  I made this thinking it would be quick and easy...not so much. This actually took me the longest to make and my peppers were not cook enough even after 20 minutes on the grill. I may try this again but use the suggestion of putting them in the oven. - 8/20/12

  so 4 peppers make 4 servings...one pepper is 140 cals!? i know everything in moderation...
  i made another recipe before that combined ff cream cheese with bacon bits (jarred) and some low fat shredded cheese. they also come out good if you are fresh out of gouda and real bacon ;) - 10/4/10

  Very good recipe. No bacon added. Yummy! I thought I could get away with just tightly wrapping the peppers in foil and laying them on their side to broil in the oven, but I ended up making a big mess. That cheese bubbled right out! Pay attention when the directions say cook standing up!!! :) - 9/7/10

  Great! I used 4 lge Pablano peppers, 3 strips of bacon and 4 wdgs of laughg cow crm cheese, med tomato,3/4 panko crumbs. extremely hot, leftovers were hotter! Too much for me but I served with bulgur & brown rice mix. Next time I will use yellow/orge bell pepper for the size w/ banana pepper chips - 7/12/10

  I'm a gringo in Mexico and I couldn't find banana peppers so I used a poblano pepper, halved, wrapped tight in tinfoil and baked it in the oven at 425 for 25 minutes. Heavenly! - 11/22/13

  Yes, very good. The store didn't have banana peppers, so I just used plain ol' bell pepper. I cut the pepper in half and since it lay flat, I didn't have to wrap it in foil. I did add some salt and herb mixture. I'll make this again, - 7/7/12

  Real similar to mine. I take jalapenos and cut the top off and scoop out the seeds and membrane, then stuf with neufchatel (cream cheese with less fat and calories. Wrap with 1/2 slice of thin bacon and place in a pan to hold upright and place on grill. Always a big hit at barbeques. - 7/1/12

I see a number of variations and I will sure try using a low fat sharp cheddar next time- then who knows after that! Many possibilities, and me w/many peppers! - 6/22/11
