Taylor's Jalapeno Poppers image

If you own a barbecue joint like I do, you pretty much dream about barbecue in your sleep. Jalapeno poppers are also one of my favorite appetizers, and this recipe is a great way to combine those foods. They're very popular on the menu at my restaurant. Try your own variation by stuffing the peppers with cooked chicken or beef. -Taylor Hicks, Birmingham, Alabama

I hate cleaning up after cooking, but these poppers are a breeze. The only dishes you need are a cutting board, a knife, and a baking sheet. Plus, the poppers themselves are easy to eat, so there's no mess.

I was looking for a healthier jalapeno popper recipe, and this one fit the bill. I used low-fat cream cheese and turkey bacon, and they were still delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.
