How many calories does it have? it seems like a lot!
I've made a similar recipe recently it was a big hit! I cooked some bacon and added it in there. Really tasty!
We've been making this recipe for a few months now and it is wonderful! We haven't tried baking it yet, that wasn't listed in the recipe I found. We roast jalapenos to give it a more fresh taste and it is delicious! We also use cheddar cheese instead of Parmesan. That makes it taste more like Jalapeno Poppers.
Hopefully you would only eat a couple of spoonfuls on a couple of chips while sharing with others. Not too many calories.
I've never eaten a jalapeno popper...but this sounds soooo good and it looks so easy.
