So here is a recipe my good ol' papa came up with. It has since been a family favorite and its much healthier than its deep fried counter part. Its about as healthy as you can get when bacon is involved. But HEY! You could switch out regular bacon for turkey bacon (If your willing to make such a sacrifice... our home is NOT! ) to make an even healthier option.
What you need:
10 Jalapenos
1 Block of Cream Cheese ( You can use the low-fat/non-fat option if you like)
3-4 Strips of Bacon ( Or Turkey Bacon if you slimming down)
- Fry your bacon in a frying pan until crispy. Keep in mind that these beauties will be in the oven as well for about 30 minutes so you don't want them to to done.
- If you are Kitchen savvy you can cut your jalapenos in half and de-seed them while your Bacon is frying.... our Bacon burnt when we were trying to multi-task. :) So maybe this is a completely separate step for you if your like me !
- Fill your seeded Jalapenos to the brim with your cream cheese.
- Add a small strip ( about 1/4 of a strip of bacon) to the top of your jalapeno.
- Bake 350 Degrees for 30 minutes.
The end result? PERFECTION. Another rewarding factor about these beauties is they are NOT incredibly spicy because the seeds are removed and with the added combination of cream cheese they are rather mild ... and scrumptious.
