I made these as a snack for my husband and me tonight, and to try before I made them to take to a family gathering. <br/><br/>The stuffing for the peppers was very tasty. I made the recipe exactly as provided, but after stuffing my own peppers, I added some cooked bacon to the remaining mixture for the ones for my husband. (I am a vegetarian.) <br/><br/>While we both love spicy stuff, these were just too spicy for both of us to eat. I scraped the inside of the peppers very well to remove seeds and membrane, but they were still just way too spicy. I realize that I may have just gotten a batch of hotter than normal peppers from the store, but that's not really something you can test ahead of time. <br/><br/>If there were a way to guarantee they would turn out milder, I would try again. Otherwise, I would not make these again.
