Light Jalapeno Poppers
"Made these as an appetizer with Mean Chef's Chile Rellenos. They are fabulous and you'd never know they were low fat. I let them cook a little longer than the recipe suggests. These would be PERFECT for any party occasion--superbowl, new year's eve, christmas eve, fourth of july, you name it! Found at weightwatchers.com."

I really think this deserves a five...very tasty especially for a low fat dish. I served it to 3 other people and they said it was lacking just a little taste in the cheese mixture...they said maybe some (unhealthy) bacon bits. -
I have been cleaning out my garden and had a ton of banana peppers I made this recipe using them instead and have taken then to three gatherings and they have been the first thing to get eaten up. People who don't like hot love these and everyone who likes hot likes these inspite of that.

WOW! Much better then I expected. Next time I think I'll add a few diced green chili's to cheese mix. But this is most certainly 5 Stars -
Great recipe! Only thing I did differently was to use Panko instead of corn flakes and a Monterey Jack/Colby cheese mixture because that is what I had on hand. We loved this! -
These were very good. I did not use the low fat versions of the cheeses or mayo. I found the cornflake crumbs a bit dry, but these were quite delicious. They were a hit at my Grey Cup party.
