These peppers were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them.

I used a different type of cheese than the recipe called for and it turned out great.

I've made this recipe twice now and it's always a success. The peppers are always stuffed to the brim with a delicious filling and the cheese is melted and gooey. Yum!
