Sausage Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers
1 pound ground Italian sausage (or regular pork or a turkey version of either)
8 oz cream cheese, softened (used 1/3 less fat)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 pound jalapenos, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 green onion, finely chopped
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place sausage in a skillet over medium heat, and cook until evenly brown. Drain grease. In a bowl, mix the sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and green onion. Spoon about 1 tablespoon sausage mixture into each jalapeno half. Arrange stuffed halves in a baking dish. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and lightly browned. ***Tips on seeding the jalapenos. Wear gloves throughout the entire process. As you half and seed the jalapenos, you can put into a bowl of continuous running water. This helps soften to bake better and removes some heat.
I make a 4-cheese stuffed pepper myself, but unfortunately I have no pics...I will post when I do.
Buon Appetito!
