This is by far the best appetizer recipe that I have ever done. I have made it many times and when we attend a bring your dish party I am always asked to bring these. If you are looking for guaranteed success do these.

DELICIOUS! I have also done it as a dip. I always soak the peppers in milk before roasting, makes them less "hot". Instead of stuffing the peppers, I chop the roasted jalepenos and mix them into the mixture and put in a 8x8 glass pan sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray, sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella and parmesan and bake at 350 until bubbly and brown, approx 20 min. Served with baguette slices and it was just as delicious!
