Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole Fresh jalapenos
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 lb Ground pork sausage
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 12 whole Bacon strips
- 12 pcs Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash and dry the jalapenos, then cut them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork sausage until fully browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and let the sausage cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and creamy.
Using a spoon or piping bag, generously fill each jalapeno half with the sausage and cheese mixture, pressing it gently to secure.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeno half with a strip of bacon, tucking the ends underneath or securing them with a toothpick to hold in place.
Arrange the bacon-wrapped jalapenos on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the jalapenos are tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, and enjoy the spicy, cheesy goodness!
