Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 22 large jalapeno pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • Ranch salad dressing, optional

Directions

  • In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese; fold in sausage.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoonful into each jalapeno half. Place in two ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 15-20 minutes or until filling is lightly browned and bubbly. Serve with ranch dressing if desired. Yield: 44 appetizers.

I tweaked this recipe by using a mild long red pepper, hot turkey sausage, and fat free cream cheese. Everyone raved and no one noticed the "fat-free." My husband and I make them for dinner as well. Mmmmm!

I used mozz cheese and added some brtead crumbs. It was AMAZING. Brought to a cook out and everyone ate them all up.

Every time I take these to potlucks, etc., they disappear and I have to give out the recipe. At family holiday potlucks, we always have leftovers - so much food, except for these jalapenos. Great taste.

Needs more flavor other than the hot from the jalapenos!! Will add garlic, bacon, something to up the flavor next time.

My husband is not a fan of spicy foods. I prepared this recipe for the holidays and he loved them. He requested them again for New Year's Eve...Awesome
