White Queso Jalapeño appetizer

I love this simple recipe for white Queso. However, having a no/low carb lifestyle will not allow for the chips for dipping! So, I chose to stuff the queso in jalapeños!

White Queso:
1 pound lean ground meat (I used venison)
1 block low fat cream cheese
1 can rotel tomatoes (drained if stuffing peppers)

Brown meat in a skillet, season with salt, pepper, cumin... Whatever seasoning you like. Add in cheese and rotel stir/simmer until cheese is melted through.

Stuff peppers:

Wear gloves!! Wash approx 15 jalapeño peppers. Cut in half the length of the pepper. Scoop out the seeds and veins with a melon baller.
Stuff peppers with white queso mixture.
Bake for 10-15 minutes at 350.

Optional: Add Bacon to each pepper. 1 pkg bacon cut in half or fourths. Either wrap the peppers or place the slice on top before baking! TIP:  if you dip the bacon in cold water before placing on the pepper it helps the bacon to not curl so badly while it cooks!

The ones pictured here have extra bacon b/c I made them for my hubby and had a few pieces left over...
