Cheesy Sausage Stuffed Jalapenos Recipe

It’s no surprise that the BIG GAME is right around the corner, and we all KNOW that that means…FOOD! Oh and I guess FOOTBALL too 🙂 I don’t know about you, but as the woman in the house, I’m more excited about the food! We always seem to have a big get together for the game with a great turn out and my number one requested dish is and always has been my Cheesy Sausage Stuffed Jalapenos. They are SO good, and you can make them where they aren’t too spicy (scrape out those seeds and membranes) and they can be enjoyed by everyone!

Here’s how you make them!

CheesyJalapenos

This is one of my favorite recipes, and I usually make them for Game Day or when we have friends coming over, or we are going to a potluck. Everyone seems to love them, but they are time-consuming since you have to clean out the jalapenos. They are SO good and I recommend making them! They are so worth it, but be prepared for people to request them often!

JalapenoIngredients


Ingredients:
1 roll of breakfast sausage (I use mild, but you can use hot if you’d like)
1 8oz package of shredded cheddar  (I like sharp, use your favorite!)
1 block of cream cheese
25 jalapenos

SausageCooked

Directions:
1- Set the cream cheese out early, so it can come to room temp and preheat oven to 350.
2- Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet, make sure it’s crumbled into small pieces, and drain on a paper towel.

NOTE: When handling jalapenos PLEASE wear gloves. They MAY irritate your hands.
I don’t wear them, I just wash my hands with soap in between steps. Some people are more sensitive to them, so be careful!

3- Cut the jalapenos in half and clean them out. Remove all the seeds and most of the veins. If you remove all of the white veins, the jalapenos will be very mild. I use a small paring knife and spoon to help clean them out. You can leave the stem on some of them as they are easy to pick up this way.
4- Mix together the cooked and drained sausage, cream cheese, and cheddar.
5- Stuff the peppers. I like using my hands because you can press it in really well and compact it a bit.

6- Lay out onto a cookie sheet, try to make sure they are somewhat level so some of the stuffing doesn’t spill out. It’s okay if it does, it’s easy to scoop back in once they are done cooking.
7- Cook for 20-25 minutes at 350.
8- Let cool just a bit and enjoy while warm! They heat up in the microwave well after cooked.

What are your Game Day Traditions?
Do you have a big get together? Do you make a big buffet of food and snacks?

We sometimes host or go to a superbowl party. This year we arent hosting, but these would be terrific to take with. So many like hot foods, but I would make them as is and some with a milder pepper . These would be a hit and I am sure there would be none leftover!
