Directions
- Heat oven to 350°F.

Tips:
- Substitute: Substitute 1/4 cup real bacon bits for the chopped cooked turkey bacon, reserving 1 Tbsp. to sprinkle on top with onions after baking.
- Pickled Jalapeño Peppers: The canned pickled whole jalapeño peppers can be found in the ethnic food section of your supermarket. If you can't find them, you can instead prepare this recipe using ½ cup drained pickled jalapeño nacho slices. Chop the nacho slices before using as directed.
