ISO Stuffed Jalapeno Recipe

[SueK]

I'm looking for a good recipe for stuffed jalapenos, or poppers, as they're also called. I've tried several recipes from various sites, and they were all a bust. I'd prefer it be a healthy version of poppers, but if not, that's okay too.
Thanks!

Pepper Poppers

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Appetizer/Snack

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 oz. light cream cheese -- softened
4 oz. shredded Mexican blend cheese -- or cheddar
3 strips bacon -- cooked and crumbled
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. chili powder
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 lb. fresh jalapenos -- halved lengthwise and seeded
1/4 c. dry bread crumbs
sour cream or ranch dressing -- for dipping

In a bowl, combine first 6 ingredients; mix well.

Spoon about 2 Tablespoons into each pepper half. Roll in crumbs.

Place in greased pan (you might want to line your pan in foil and then spray it with Pam to make it easy to clean).

Bake, uncovered, at 300 degrees for 20 - 40 min. depending on how spicy you want them (the longer they bake, the more mild they will be).

Serve with sour cream or ranch to dip them in.

NOTES : *Use plastic gloves while handling peppers. Make sure you remove seeds and membranes because this is where the heat is located.

*This recipe is adapted from a recipe I got out of Taste of Home Mag. I think you could also make these by just stuffing them with a mixture of cream cheese, shredded cheese, and bacon.

Our local Sam's Club sells them and I wouldn't think of making them, they are always a hit. If anyone finds a lower fat recipe, I may be convinced to change my mind...

I believe CL had a stuffed jalapeno recipe at one point...i remember someone saying it was their favorite recipe of all time. Hopefully they'll chime in and give it up.
