Notes

  • Recipe tips.
  • Prep ahead. These can be prepped several hours in advance and stored in the fridge before baking.
  • Freeze ahead. Place in a single layer and freeze until solid before transferring to a freezer Ziploc. Freeze for up to 3 months. Bake directly from the freezer in a 400°F oven for 15-20 minutes. 
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and place them in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or the oven.
  • The oil in the jalapeños can irritate your skin, so wear gloves and do not touch your face. When you're done remove the gloves and wash your hands. 
  • For even milder jalapenos, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before filling. 
  • Softened cream cheese will be easier to mix with the sausage and other ingredients.
