These are excellent! I made these earlier tonight and I swear my mouth is still burning. Hubby's a heat-freak so I was pretty shocked hear "hot, hot, hot" through a mouth full of pepper. And while that has more to do with the peppers you buy than anything, these absolutely did not lack in flavor. I used fresh crumbled bacon and a lot of it. I also threw just a teeny bit of chipotle powder and ground pepper into the flour and then threw some ranch powder into plain breadcrumbs to balance things out and add a little "zing". You'll probably use a lot more milk, flour and crumbs than called for so be prepared. When deseeding/deveining the peppers don't forget to use gloves if you have them or even plastic wrap around your hands, a teaspoon to help scrape and wash up often! I don't fry much (still a bit intimidated by scalding hot oil) and thanks to a later start I wasn't going there tonight. So I parboiled the peppers for about 3 minutes before stuffing and then baked at 350 for about 25 minutes or so until I started to see a little cheesy leak or two. Then I broiled a few minutes to crisp up the tops. They were perfectly tender and gooey. Next time maybe I'll brave the hot oil, but either way there will definitely be a next time. And while there were a lot of steps to this recipe they weren't overly complicated. Well worth the effort, especially if you make enough to freeze for later. Thanks for a great recipe!
