If you like Jalepeno Poppers I learned how to make these from my friend, Karla and tweeked it to make them low fat and low cal!

12 Fresh Jalepenos (slice in half and remove seeds)
1 pkg fat free or low fat cream cheese
1 tsp garlic salt
4 slices 95% fat free ham (cut into 3 strips each, lenthwise)

Mix cream cheese and garlic salt. Fill each Jalepeno half with cream cheese mixture and then wrap with strip of ham.

Broil until ham is slightly toasted and cream cheese is melted. Serve warm and enjoy!
26 calories each!

    That sounds great I should put a few of those together and toss them in my smoker!

    I love stuffed jalapenos... one of my favorite snacks is grilled jalapenos stuffed with peanut butter (it's best to use a chile grill)... sounds odd at first but it's very yummy, sort of like a satay sauce... I've had them pizza-style (lower fat mozerella and turkey peperoni), with smoked pork and a dab of BBQ sauce.....

    We did shredded cheddar cheese mixed into the cream cheese. Extra good that way too!

    If you have the extra calories to use, wrap bacon around them instead of ham. Broil until bacon is crispy on top.... YUM!

    Oh wow! Is the jalapeno overpowering? Or does it balance out with the cheese? I don't like super spice, but a bit of a bite is great!

    Mmmm One of my favorite guilty pleasures but I hardly ever have them. Definitely going to be trying this! Perhaps with cheddar rather than cream cheese, though.

    Only occasionally have I found a hot one after removing the seeds. I personally like the heat/spice so I add a few seeds to the cream cheese and garlic mixture.

    I used to wrap them in bacon and then smoke them on my wood smoker... I bet with the ham should be really good
