Betty demonstrates how to make a wonderful, appealing appetizer, Happy Jalapeno Poppers. These are hollowed-out jalapeno halves filled with a mixture of cheeses, onion, mushrooms, and bacon, and baked in the oven until delicious!
Happy Jalapeno Poppers
(Makes about 2 dozen poppers.)
4 slices bacon, chopped in 1-inch squares
1/2 to 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup onion, finely chopped
½ cup mushrooms, finely chopped
8-oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
½ cup finely-shredded Monterey jack cheese
½ cup finely-shredded mozzarella cheese
jalapeno peppers, washed and cut into two halves lengthwise, with seeds and fibers removed
Fry 4 slices of bacon (chopped) in a skillet over medium heat. Drain on paper toweling, and set aside. Discard bacon grease and add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet where the bacon was fried. Add ½ cup finely-chopped onion and ½ cup finely chopped mushrooms to the olive oil in the skillet and saute until softened. In a medium mixing bowl, combine sauteed onion and mushroom, the crisp, fried bacon bits , 8-oz. softened cream cheese, ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix well. Stuff each jalapeno pepper half with a generous amount of the cheese mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Place on a serving plate, and serve immediately! These are great for sports event party, or as an appetizer to a Mexican-themed meal! Enjoy!!! --Betty

Why this Betty's Happy Jalapeno Poppers works for PCOS
Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
