This is one of our all time favorite snacks (turned meals) in our house!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes (at 425 degree oven)

Ingredients:

2 (8oz) packages of full fat cream cheese

4 toes of fresh garlic

1/2 cup of shredded cheedar cheese (1/4 block)***

12 large jalapeno peppers

1 lb of defrosted bacon

Combine room temperature cream cheese and garlic in a bowl. Then add shredded cheese.

Then deseed (if this is even a word) the peppers. Pre-cook the bacon and cut it into small strips. Next, stuff peppers with the cream cheese mixture.

Cook in pre-heated oven for 20 minutes or until peppers are soft and bacon is cooked thoroughly.

**** Due to cellulose being added to pre-shredded cheese as an anti-caking agent, it is a healthier alternative to purchase block cheese and shred it yourself. Another anti-caking agent is potato starch. This is something that can easily be avoided for the keto lifestyle.
