    These are so yummy! And really not super spicy, so you might wanna add a little something extra if you wanna sweat. I used cream cheese, green jalapeno peppers and cocktail wieners that I got to the consistency of ground meat by using a chopper. It's not the most sophisticated choice of meat, but they're really good in these peppers. : Next time, I think I'll use more diced red bell peppers for the filling. The amounts of garlic and red onions are perfect. Overall, a *great* snack!

    I made these today to have with our football spread. They were really good. As others have mentioned, 5 mins is not long enough to get the peppers roasted. They were still really crunchy when I pulled them out after melting the cheese; 20 more mins at 300 fixed that problem. I also made a half batch of the filling which was a perfect amount. Will make again, for sure!

    I just made these for myself and my husband and they were very good! I used hot sausage, which added a little more heat. Most of the peppers were not hot (I could only find green ones, but a few packed a punch. I think if you used red jalapenos, they would be very hot. I also used cream cheese, because it's what I had available. These took a little time to make, but were worth the effort! Thanks Guy!

    These are really, really good. I took the advice from others and baked the jalapenos at 300 degrees for about 12-13 minutes. I used cream cheese because that's what I had in the house. Marscopone would probably be even more delicious, if you felt like spending the extra $$ but is definately not necessary. My only complaint is the jalapenos weren't hot enough. That's not Guy's fault. I might try a hot sausage or add red pepper flakes next time. This is a keeper & a crown pleaser.

    I made these for a poker party. Bought the good old mega-mart jalapenos because they're all I could find last minute. I got great compliments on them but I was not happy with the way they looked. I'll definitely make these again but make the following changes -

    1 I'll not split the jalapenos in half (unless I get bigger peppers next time. Just hollowing them out with a potato peeler probably would have made stuffing them easier and made them out to look better.

    2 I will put half the seeds of the jalapenos into the cream cheese mix. I did this already due to the multiple reviews saying they weren't hot enough. Mine did have a kick to them, and I even left out the red pepper (not a big fan and used mild sausage.

    3 I'm not too sure if there was too much sausage or not. It was good, but a little much. I might try using only 1.5 lb next time. I agree they were pretty meaty, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

    4 I'll leave out the mozz or just blend it in with the cream cheese. The mega-mart peppers were so small that spreading mozzarella over the top of them didn't do a thing except just get my baking sheet dirtier.

    I'll let you know how the next batch turn out!

    We are always elected to bring the appetizers at get togethers. We always try to top ourselves each time, and this did the trick. People are still talking about them. HUGE HIT. I tried these at home with the larger peppers...not as great, too much stuffing. We did need to cook our peppers a little longer to get them tender. We used cream cheese (simply due to price, it worked nicely. We are trying the bacon wrapped shrimp next!
    THANKS

    I received a lot of compliments on these when I took them to a party. They were gone in no time at all and they were fairly easy to make. Thank you Guy!

    The flavor was great! I substitued Farmer John's Chorizo for the Italian Sausage, good!! Just one thing though, if you use 15 jalapenos you only need 1/2 lb of meat & 4 oz cream cheese(or mascarpone otherwise you'll need to increase the jalapenos to at least 60 maybe more! I'm still wondering what I should do with all the leftover!

    This recipe was good but not really what I expected. This was more meat than cheese and didn't have any kick to it. I would reduce the amount of meat next time and do half sweet meat and half spicy.
