This stuffing was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more butter or broth.

I'm not a big fan of stuffing, but I really enjoyed this recipe! The bacon and jalapenos were a great combination.

I thought this stuffing was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This is a great recipe! I especially liked the addition of the jalapenos. They gave the stuffing a nice kick.

I liked the idea of this stuffing, but I found it to be a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try making it again with less jalapenos next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stuffing turned out really dry. I think I might have used too much bread.

I was a bit hesitant to try this stuffing because I'm not a big fan of spicy food. But I'm so glad I did! The jalapenos were just the right amount of heat, and the bacon and bread were perfectly cooked.
