Jalapeno Popper Mushrooms
My husband loves stuffed jalapeños and I like stuffed mushrooms, so I came up with this jalapeño popper mushrooms recipe that combines the two. Leave some of the seeds or ribs in the jalapeño for more heat! I like to use Neufchâtel cheese and turkey bacon for a lower fat version — it's just as tasty!
