I used mozz cheese and added some brtead crumbs. It was AMAZING. Brought to a cook out and everyone ate them all up.

Every time I take these to potlucks, etc., they disappear and I have to give out the recipe. At family holiday potlucks, we always have leftovers - so much food, except for these jalapenos. Great taste.

Needs more flavor other than the hot from the jalapenos!! Will add garlic, bacon, something to up the flavor next time.

My husband is not a fan of spicy foods. I prepared this recipe for the holidays and he loved them. He requested them again for New Year's Eve...Awesome

My family and friends love this recipe SO much they request it every holiday and special occasion. I'm always hearing "Oh OH, can you make the stuffed jalapenos?!"

I first made these several years ago and now, I am known for my delicious stuffed jalapenos. Thanks to TOH recipe!

OH MAN! This recipe is so hopelessly addicting... Everyone who has ever tried it has raved about it. My kids now beg me to make it for every holiday.

my husband made these a few years back for christmas with my family. Then at easter...he had to make a DOUBLE batch...my family says he is not allowed to come to any function without making these. The best part is everyone eating the "hot" one...whining and crying that they are too hot...only to fight everyone for the next one. My husband enjoys making some hot, some not...just for the heck of it. We walked into Easter this year and my cousin said, "yay...they're here"...grabbed the peppers to throw into the oven and then said, "oh...sorry..we're glad you're here too"...sure! The smell in the kitchen is so consuming..which is a good thing..the men in my family start to crowd the kitchen when my husband needs a "taste tester"...I hope i am expressing how much we love them. Again, I don't cook them...and I will say that my husband uses the food processor to mix and blend the sausage, cream cheese together. hard work but well worth it!

This is a recipe that I know by heart. I have made this recipe countless times and each time I have to print out the recipe for people that are trying it for the first time sine they have just fallen in love. The smell is amazing and I like to leave just a little of the membrane in to give it a little kick, otherwise the jalapenos end up tasting like green peppers because of the oven cooking out the "heat". I have never used the dressing because I don't think I've ever had enough time to get it out of the fridge before everyone has cleaned off the dish!

I make this often, and it is always a hit ~ especially with "the guys"! I also add shredded cheddar and crumbled bacon to the sausage/cream cheese mixture.
