I couldn't find my usual popper recipe, but I found this one that seemed pretty similar. We were very pleased with the results. I used some jalapenos from the garden and we loved them! The filling keeps well in the refrigerator and even freezes fine, so now that the hard part is done, we will be enjoying more jalapeno poppers when the next jalapeno harvest comes in!

Guess who planted 6 jalapeno plants this year? I did, I did...LOL So, in preparation for a large pepper harvest, I'm looking for recipes for poppers, and all different kinds, at that! These were great, and Ive already shared them with my sis (who has made them 2-3 times herself!) and a couple of friends! They are great and I'm happy I don't have to fry them. I used 4 huge jalapenos, split in half, leaving the membrane and a few seeds, as we LIKE it hot! They were so good! And easy! YUM! Thanks for sharing a great recipe, Chef GreanEyes!
