Easy Low Carb Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

Easy Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers

 (Low carb and low fat)

Makes about 40 poppers 

Prep Time: 20 minutes        Cook Time: 20 - 30 minutes         Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

20 whole fresh jalapeños peppers
2 8-oz blocks of fat free cream cheese, softened
1 to 2 pounds of turkey bacon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and set aside.

2. Cut jalapeños in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and membranes. Stuff each jalapeño half with fat free cream cheese.

3. Wrap each jalapeño half with bacon. Secure with a toothpick.

3. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. If after 20 minutes the bacon doesn't look brown enough, turn on the broiler for a couple of minutes to finish. Just keep a close eye so they don't burn! Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Note: Sometimes I like to mix green onions, garlic, and/or grated parmesan cheese in with the cream cheese. Be creative or keep it simple, either way these are great!

Hot Raspberry Dipping Sauce

¼ cup Sugar Free Raspberry Jelly/Jam
1 tsp canned or jarred Jalapenos

1. Place ¼ cup of the SF Jelly/Jam in a container.
2. Slice the canned jalapenos very thin adding as much heat as you would like. If your jelly or jam is too thick, I add a little juice. This may make it really hot…so be careful.
