Ingredients
  

  • 36 jalapeño peppers
  • 8 ounces cream cheese or Kite Hill cream cheese if dairy free
  • 1 teaspoon Redmond Garlic Salt
  • 18 strips sugar free bacon

OPTIONAL ADDITIONS:

  • Cilantro, chives, other herbs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Wash the peppers.
  • Cut off the stems and make a long slice down one side of the pepper.
  • Clean out the insides of the pepper.
  • Leave more of the pith if you want a hotter pepper.
  • Make sure to not touch your eyes... the oils are all over your hands and will burn.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix the cream cheese and garlic salt. Add any herb that you desire.
  • With a butter knife, stuff the peppers with the cream cheese mixture.
  • Cut the strips of bacon in half and wrap one half strip around each stuffed pepper and secure with a toothpick.
  • Bake on a slotted pan for about 25-30 minutes or until bacon is fully cooked.
  • Let cool slightly before eating.
  • Serve with my ranch dressing!
