I tweaked things a bit and was very happy. I did the cream cheese (only 8 oz) but added cheddar and some salsa con queso I had (Mission brand, medium), but I didn't put in bacon, only because I didn't have any bacon on hand. I also added a couple tablespoons of cornstarch to the flour, and only dipped twice in the milk/flour before dipping one final time in milk and then into panko. Then I tossed them into the microwave for 2 minutes 30 seconds before oven at 375 for 20 then 425 for another 10 or so. The family loved them, and even though it was a small batch they are gone. I wasn't super careful about removing ALL the seeds and membranes, we love hot Hot HOT and I was pleasantly surprised. I'd make these again.

We tried this last night and I followed the recipe exactly. They were gobbled up instantly. Everyone wants more! Even my kids loved them. The only complaint was that they were not spicy enough. Perfectly crispy. Wonderful. May try baking them and adding natural sausage with or in place of bacon bits. Normally, we don't care for cream cheese filled jalapenos, but these really were worth the effort. Would be nice to fry some, freeze them, and bake them later, but will be tough to have extras. They are that delicious! May never go back to frozen store bought ones again.

Great recipe! I've had rave reviews from all, these are my new favorite appetizer to make, a little time consuming but worth it. Tried the recipe both with the jalapeno seeds and without. You only need just a few seeds for a big hot kick. I also took the suggestion to add some monterey jack cheese, yum!

I made these last night and they were awesome. My 10 year old went crazy for them, and my husband asked me to make them as an appetizer for Christmas. I followed the recipe except I used tempura to coat them in because I was out of bread crumbs, and I omitted the bacon because I was making a bacon pasta as well. Still turned out amazing.

Fantastic recipe. I changed the recipe a little and put the jalapenos in boiling water for about 2-3mins (so the can soften a little). I used mild chedder cheese, kraft bacon bits, and whipped low fat cream cheese. I also used italian bread crums instead of the regular ones.I used double the amount of bacon bits the recipe said to use. My husband loved them. He gets jalapenos poppers at every restaurant we go too and he said they tasted better then any restaurant-I agreed.

This is a great recipe. Rather that purchasing bacon bits, I made my own. One thing to mention however. I was searching for a recipe because I had some jalapenos and needed to find something to do with them. i found this recipe and thought it sounded great. While taking the jalapenos out of the package I noticed it had a recipe onthe back. Imagine my surprise when the recipe is IDENTICAL!! Every word is EXACTLY the same. So....perhaps credit for this recipe should go to Rosemont Farms in BocaRaton FL instead

I love this recipe. It was very popular with everyone in the house. I did two things a little different. I double coated the peppers with the bread crumbs to make them crispier. I fryed them a little longer pepper side down to make the peppers a little softer. I will be making these for family functions alot.
