Cut off the tops of the jalapeno peppers and cut in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and clean out the pepper. Rinse and set aside. In a large bowl, add the first 6 ingredients and mix thoroughly. Fold in cheese. Using a spoon, spread the mixture into each pepper. Place peppers on a sprayed cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes.
