This is the first time I've ever tried making my own poppers and they were outstanding! Make sure you get all the seeds out but once you do, the poppers are just a tad bit spicy -- not really hot at all. The flavor is really excellent. We split the poppers in 2, filled them then wrapped 1 piece of bacon around each slice -- securing it on both ends with a toothpick. I only bought 9 poppers (18 halves) but ended up using all of this recipe. LOVE this and am so excited to share it with my friends. Perfect just as it is.

I scaled recipe to 6 servings to make appetizers for the 2 of us. I added a dash of chili powder and cumin to the cheese mixture. Instead of grilling the poppers, I baked them at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes. I wrapped about half of them in bacon -- they are good with or without. Overall, these were easy to make and delicious!

I'm rating this a 5 b/c of the taste but I definitely had issues with it. I some by cutting in 1/2 and others as the recipes states but either way, the bacon was an issue. I cut the slices in half, which makes sense b/c a full slice would be too much. But it didn't cover the entire surface of the cheese area and sometimes the cheese dripped into the fire. I also didn't use toothpicks, which I will have to try next time. As my boyfriend was grilling them at our tailgating party, I was taking the bacon off of them since it was causing problems. He just fried the bacon next to the peppers and people grabbed a slice with a popper. I have some leftover cheese mixture which I'm going to use to make some more but put them in the oven. The taste was fantastic and everyone still loved them, regardless of the mess!
