By jannycerv

Great for your next fancy soiree or tailgate! Pop a few of these babies into your mouth (not at the same time, unless you’re a professional), and then laugh a little inside as you log only 42 calories (and 1 Weight Watchers Points Plus) in each one. Bwahahahahaha. Nobody will ever know!

Ingredients

• 8 jalapeño peppers, cut lengthwise and seeded
• 4 ounces of reduced fat cream cheese, softened

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Mix cream cheese, cheddar, and onions together in a small bowl until smooth.

Scoop approximately 1 TBSP of cheese mixture into the each hollowed out pepper.
Cut each bacon strip in half, and wrap once around bacon with the ends resting on the top of the filled pepper.
Use a toothpick to secure if necessary, but the bacon will usually stick together nicely.
Bake at 450 for 14-15 minutes or until bacon is crisp.
