Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 5 fresh jalapeno peppers
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 pound pork sausage
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    2. Brown and crumble sausage.

    3. Slice jalapenos in half lengthwise and scoop out all seeds with a small spoon.  I rinse each slice off as well, as I like a milder taste.

    4. Mix together sausage, cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Spoon generous amount of mixture into each halved jalapeno.

    5. Place on baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.  Cheese will be melted and pepper edges will be a bit darker. 

Recipe Notes

These are delicious as is, and even better when dipped in ranch dressing!
