These are very tasty! I did everything as outlined. This does make a lot--not 12, more like 24! Thanks!

I'm not one for baking but this was incredibly easy to make. It has a great taste and I will make it again. Thanks for the recipe. I made mine in a cast iron pan instead of in muffin tins, worked great too.

I have to admit, I have been making these for at least a month or so and here I am just now rating them. These are wonderful. To make things easier, I seed my peppers and run them through the chopper...I do make one adjustment that that is adding more corn, almost a cup to be exact. Also, I am not sure where the 12 servings comes from on here but everytime I have made these I end up with about 24 or so average size muffins.
