We liked this becasue the jalapenos were still crisp and the filling was almost like queso dip. I used turkey sausage and two links of spicy pork Italian sausage and added red pepper flakes and oregano to the mix. I also used low-fat cream cheese, to cut back on the fat content. The recipe for the filling made a lot….I bought 20 of the biggest jalapenos I could find and still have over one cup of filling left. I think I will put it on flour tortillas, roll them up and slice them for appertizers as well. Stick them in the over for a few minutes to warm them.

I have made this recipe at least three times now. Everytime the poppers were a hit, and I always get asked for the recipe. This is great for parties and BBQ’s!!

I have made this recipe at least 3 times now. I always have left over filling so I melt it into some cooked pasta for an excellent mac & cheese. Since you never know how hot a jalapeno will be, I choose to use spicy italian sausage and alittle cayenne just to bump it up. I have also stuffed mushrooms with this filling and added 2 finely diced jalapenos to the mix. Every time, I get requests for the recipe. For the record, I have also used roasted red peppers from a jar in place of fresh.

We used this recipe for our Super Bowl party and it was a great hit! I used cream cheese instead of the mascarpone. I also had plenty of filling left over. But of the 40 I made, I had none left over! My husband also put some marinated duck breast slices in a few of them under the cheese blend and he put them all on the grill and they were out of this world, and I don’t even like duck or jalapenos! Thanks Guy for a great recipe!

This was a great recipe and super delicious. We used breakfast sausage instead of the spicier Italian sausage and it was terrific!

I was soooo excited to make this! We went to several stores to find everything we needed. WOW I was so sad It had to be the single most boring stuffed pepper ever! No heat at all!!! I had left over filling that I topped with more cheese and thought it would be GREAT. When I tasted the stuffed peppers I realized that there was no way these would be good. We are now drizzling velveta and rotel on top. SO sad they lookes fantastic!!!
