Stuffed Jalapenos Recipe
These fiery bites are loaded with intense flavor. The stuffing also works equally well in mushrooms, if you prefer your nibbles on the milder side.
Ingredients
| 12 | fresh jalapenos, halved and seeded | |
| 1 | pound | bulk Italian sausage |
| 1 | small | onion, chopped |
| 1 | bell pepper, seeded and chopped | |
| 3 | cloves | garlic, finely chopped |
| 1 | cup | shredded Estero Gold cheese |
| 1/2 | cup | mascarpone cheese |
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the jalapenos on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
- Combine the sausage, onion, bell pepper and garlic in a pan set over medium-high heat. Cook until the sausage browns, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and add the cheese. Mix well.
- Stuff the jalapenos with the sausage mixture.
- Broil until heated through.
