BEST JALAPENO POPPERS EVER!!!!!

Best Ever Jalapeno Poppers

(Baked Not Fried!)

Ingredients

• 2 (12 ounce) packages ground sausage ( I use spicy Jimmy Dean)
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 30 jalapeno chile peppers
• 2 pound sliced bacon, cut in half
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese
• chives

Mix sausage, cream cheese, cheese and chive together. Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds. Fill with the cheese mixture, wrap with a half slice of bacon and secure with toothpick.

Bake *350 for about 40-50 minutes or until sausage is cooked. (I broil them for about 5 minutes when they are done cooking so the bacon gets crisp.)

((I also put  the cheese & sausage filling inside button or portabella mushrooms!!!))

 

BEST EVER!!!!
