This is a recipe for stuffed jalapenos I had at a baby shower in Texas. I loved them and have made them for every party since. They are always anxiously requested, a HIT AT EVERY PARTY!!!! Use toothpicks to secure the bacon around the stuffed jalapenos. Be sure to use a pan that won't let the bacon drip all over the oven while cooking!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°. Place sausage in a skillet over medium heat, and cook until evenly brown. Drain grease. In a bowl, mix the sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and green onion. Spoon about 1 tablespoon sausage mixture into each jalapeno half. Arrange stuffed halves in a baking dish. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and lightly browned. Tips on seeding the jalapenos. 1) Wear gloves throughout the entire process, then remove right after so you don't transfer to sink faucet, cabinet handles, etc. 2) I love my little lemon zester tool for seeding but a small melon baller works great too. 3) As you half and seed the jalapenos and put into a bowl of continuous running water. This helps soften to bake better and removes some heat.
Tips for Making the Best Sausage Jalapeño Poppers:
- Choose the right jalapeños: Look for firm, unblemished peppers with smooth skin. Avoid peppers with wrinkles or bruises.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The oils from the peppers can cause skin irritation, so it's best to wear gloves when preparing them.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the jalapeños: This will help to prevent the peppers from tearing.
- Stuff the jalapeños with a flavorful filling: You can use a variety of fillings, such as sausage, cream cheese, or cheddar cheese.
- Bake the jalapeño poppers until they are golden brown and crispy: This will ensure that the filling is cooked through and the peppers are tender.
- Serve the jalapeño poppers with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular dipping sauces include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or sour cream.
