Sausage Jalapeno Poppers

Original recipe here: https://desociointhekitchen.com/sausage-jalapeno-poppers/

Ingredients

• 24 jalapeños – cleaned and cut in half, lengthwise

• 2 – 8oz container of cream cheese (at room temperature)

• 1 package of Neese’s sausage (regular)

• 1 package of Neese’s sausage (Hot)

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 425F

2. Prepare the jalapeños. First, cut off the stem, then clean out all the seeds and the pith. *Tip – after cleaning out the center, run the jalapeños underwater – makes it easy to remove any stuck-on seeds.

3. Slice cleaned out jalapeños in half lengthwise.

4. Brown sausages until fully cooked. Make sure it’s broken up into small, tiny bits, and drain any grease.

5. Add cream cheese to sausage and mix until completely melted and everything is well combined.

6. Spoon sausage mixture into jalapeño halves and place onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

7. Bake at 425F for about 15 minutes or until the sausage gets a little crispy and the jalapeños have cooked and are softened.
