I made these for lunch one day for my family and they were devoured. Delicious! I was told I could make these anytime... preferably soon! These work well as a side dish or as an hors d'oeu·vre. Great recipe.

I made these for a Cinco de Mayo party I attended; I doubled the recipe and there were none left! They obviously were a hit! I have since shared this recipe with several people and will be making them again myself!

Made this recipe for the folks at the campground and everyone loved them!! Cooked them on the grill, worked just as well as putting in the oven.

This recipe is such a crowd pleaser! Just make sure you know how much spice your crowd can handle when selecting your peppers :)

Love the combination of creamy, savory and spicy. Luckily my peppers were mild.

Very good, however my jalapenos were home-grown and VERY spicy. Next time may make into a dip w/chopped jalapenos, bake and serve w/chips and sour cream, yum.
