9 items

• 12 whole jalapenos
• 0.5 pound ground sausage

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

3. Wash the jalapenos and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon or knife. Set aside.

4. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it's fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease and let the sausage cool slightly.

5. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

6. Fill each jalapeno half with the sausage and cheese mixture, pressing it in gently to fill the cavity.

7. Cut each bacon slice in half, then wrap a half slice of bacon around each stuffed jalapeno half. Secure with a toothpick to hold the bacon in place.

8. Place the stuffed jalapenos on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapenos are tender.

10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

11. Serve warm and enjoy these flavorful bites!
