Author: Nikki
These Jalapeño Poppers are extra special! They are stuffed with a creamy sausage filling and wrapped in crispy bacon! This will be the hit of any gathering!
Ingredients
  • 10 to 12 Jalapeños
  • 10 to 12 slices of bacon
  • ⅔ cup sausage, cooked and drained
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Line a cookie sheet with foil and set aside.
  3. Make a slit down the length of the jalapenos and carefully remove seeds and membranes. Place jalapenos on cookie sheet and bake for 6 minutes. Remove from oven and turn the jalapenos over and return to the oven and bake for another 6 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet.
  4. Reduce oven heat to 400 degrees F.
  5. Heat a large skillet and place bacon in it. Cook bacon for 2 minutes on each side. DO NOT COOK ALL THE WAY THROUGH! It must be pliable to wrap around the jalapeños. Place bacon on paper towels to cool.
  6. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and sausage. Stuff the cream cheese mixture into the cooled jalapenos. Wrap with bacon. If you need to, use toothpicks to secure the bacon.
  7. Bake at 400 degrees F for 12 minutes.
