taste is 5 stars, difficulty 4 stars. It is a hassle, and I need to perfect the technique, but we loved these! Im sure they are much healthier than the store bought ones!

HIGHLY overrated. My friend has been talking up this recipe for years and I just wasn't impressed. They were ok, but I ended up throwing most of them away. The cream cheese mixture needed a little something. I just felt there was something missing. I also don't like the whole frying factor. I should have taken another posters advice & baked them instead of fried them.

These are a ton of work, but worth every minute. I blanched the peppers for 3 minutes prior to filling. I also wound up doubling the flour/bread crumb mixture. I cooked the bacon first, and added quite a bit more of it. Otherwise, followed the recipe to the "T". I did wind up freezing about half of the uncooked poppers for another day. We'll see how they do thawed and cooked.

left out the bacon..seasoned cream cheese with a little garlic and salt. I deep fried the first four and the pepper was too crispy, so I put the rest in a 350 degree oven and baked for 40 minutes. THey were much better that way.

This is the first time I've made jalapeño poppers at home, and it won't be the last. We loved these! It just may make the super bowl menu. Thanks.

These were wonderful. A little messy to do at first, but I think with practice it will be easier. Great taste. Thanks for the receipe.

Made these and thought it was one of my crowning culinary accomplishments. It took quite a bit longer than I guessed and a lot more japelenos than I thought, (had to go back to the store) I had more cheese mixture than anything, so I hope it helps someone if I say make sure you have plenty of bread crumbs, flour, milk and peppers. But I was glad I made them, because now I have a freezer with many delicious appetizers ready for guests and/or my boyfriend who loved them. Left some seeds in and used pepper jack with cheddar and cream cheese because we like them good and hot. P.S. I wanted to add to this review, there are about three things that I neglected to say, first I used Turkey bacon in place of pork and I've not yet tasted bacon in these poppers so it doesn't add to the recipe to do that. Next when I said I left some seeds in, this made them Very Hot, it's great. Lastly, it would probably work better to boil the pepper a little first, like some reviewers have suggested because although they're good aldente, the breading separates when you bite them. I would think it would work better to have them softer.

These were awesome and surprisingly not too hard to put together. *I tried these a second time but with some changes for what I had on hand. I guess you could say they really aren't like the recipe. I used a can of diced jalapenos and some extra cheese. I also added a tbl of bacon fat from when i baked them for these. Mixed all toether and rolled into balls. I rolled the ball in flour and then dipped in milk and breaded like usual. I did 3 coats to ensure the mixture stayed it. I baked them and they tasted great, but I do suggest frying them because they get a more solid crust.

Best jalapeno poppers ever. My boyfriend loves the ones from Arbys and he says these taste absolutely awesome. He'd eat the whole batch standing up if I let him. I omitted the bacon as I didn't have any. Made a sweet chili sauce to go with them and were just fabulous. Making again for the Bears vs. Packers game.

made them for my christmas party last night and they flew off the plate. It was the talk of the party, will defiently use this recipe again !

these were very good. I had to make a few changes because I didn't have some ingredients. I added green onion instead of bacon and cornflake crumbs instead of bread crumbs. I made extra and froze them so hopefully they'll turn out great also!

It's very time consuming, but definately worth the effort. Everyone requests these.

These were better than any store bought jalapeno poppers. I rolled them in the milk and breadcrumbs twice to ensure a good crust. I also left most of the white membrane in the jalapeno, to give them heat. These were so good! Thank you.

So I made these with fresh Jalapeno's from someone's garden on Halloween night. My first mistake was when I boiled them my whole family started choking from the aroma, my mother in law walked in with my neice and they started choking as well, so I prepared them but was then scared to cook them, I didn't want to kill anyone after making them choke to death, so I didn't cook them tell after they left. After all that they ended up being pretty good, not worth the time though, I will just by them next time.

I have made these a few times for family gatherings and everyone loves them. The only thing I change is I use green onions instead of bacon. They freeze great too. I also use gloves when handling the peppers as they burn my fingers.

Excellent and delicious, very time consuming dish. I followed other reviews suggestings: boiling jalapeno's whole for 4 minutes. I had trouble seeding them, becuase they were SO spicy it burnt and I was nearly coughing 1/2 way through. I didnt half these jalapenos. I cut a slit down the middle and loaded the filling which reduced leakage (to nothing) while cooking. I also heard some reviews these werent spicy enough so i added tabasco, but BE CAREFUL because i may have added a lil much and they were SO incredibly spicy. I also recommend using the horseradish dip recipe posted in earlier reviews if you want to add an extra kick and opt not to use tabasco (probably smarter). I made 32 and it took closer to 1hr 45 mins.

These were good, but I think i needed to boil the peppers longer because they still seemed too tough when you bit into them. They really do take a long time, but it is worth it- just to have your own homemade jalapeno poppers!

I used your recipe as a base but instead of adding cheddar cheese, I added a small amount of blue cheese and a bit of grated mozzarella along with bacos. For the second dipping I used egg instead of milk with the bread crumbs. The coating stayed on great and they were DELICIOUS!

use panko bread crumbs...comes out amazing!!

These are yummy, but a lot of work (especially wearing gloves...which i learned the hard way that you shoud do when dealing with jalapenos). I think this would be great with pepperjack, but since I didn't have any I seasoned my cheese blend with lots of garlic and onion salt.
