Ingredients
- 10 jalapeños
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 lb spicy Italian sausage
- 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
Instructions
- Take each individual jalapeno and slice it longways. Wash, trim and remove all ribs and seeds leaving a hollow core. You can save the seeds and ribs to add back to the cream cheese if you'd like it spicier.
- Place jalapenos on a baking sheet in a 400°F oven and par-roast just until they start to soften and roast (blacken slightly), about 5 minutes.
- While the jalapenos are roasting, brown your Italian sausage in a skillet.
- Once the sausage is cooked through, add the cream cheese to the skillet and stir frequently until it is melted and mixed through.
- Remove sausage and cream cheese mixture from the stove and add in the pepper jack cheese.
- Take your cheese mixture and stuff each jalapeno until it's mounded at the top.
- Place jalapenos back on the baking sheet and put them back in the oven to complete roasting.
- Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. We like ours with ranch and a little cilantro!
