Sounds nice! Is this a sweet hot or a hot hot? I'm a huge fan of stuffed jalapenos. I can't actually think of anything that doesn't belong stuffed inside a jalapeno.

In fact, you could easily switch up the innards of this dish.

This sounds really good Jason! We have some company coming over this weekend and I think I am going to make a batch of these up.

That sounds absolutely delicious! I'd have to double, or triple, the size of that batch.

You know what would also be good? If you packed the dressing around the pepper too and then threw the whole thing into a deep fryer. Sure, it's not healthy, but oh, that would be good!

I'm glad you reminded the reader to wear gloves . I've been cooking with peppers for years and sometimes I forget to not rub my eyes for several hours after handling. These sound like a nice accompaniment for chicken or pork entrees.

I am going to have to try this one. My husband and I LOVE all recipes hot and spicy. Very true about the gloves too, I have learned that valuable lesson the hard way many times!
