Did you know? … if you boil the jalapeno peppers in water first they will become milder in flavor…
For sausage-cream cheese jalapenos, brown 1/2 pound bulk sausage meat, cool to almost room temperature then mix into the cream cheese mixture and omit the crumbled bacon on top, this will increase the cream cheese mixture slightly so you may want to use a few more jalapenos
Yield 24 jalapeno halves
INGREDIENTS:
12 medium fresh jalapeno peppers
4 ounces cream cheese, very soft (half of an 8-ounce package)
1 small garlic clove, minced
1-1/2 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, more to sprinkle on top before baking
extra crispy finely crumbled cooked bacon
INSTRUCTIONS:—————————————-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease a baking sheet.
Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membranes (use disposable rubber gloves for this and DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE!)
In a large saucepan, boil peppers in water for 5-10 minutes (the longer you boil the peppers, the milder they become) drain and rinse in cold water; set aside.
In a small bowl mix the cream cheese with minced garlic, cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Spoon about 2 teaspoonfuls into each jalapeno half; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and crumbled bacon (use as much as you like).
Place on a greased baking sheet.
Bake for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Serve warm.

Love “hot” Jalapeno Poppers- This one is super Mmmmmm- The thing that I found could be a problem is the size of the Jalapenos.. How much filling will it hold? I pushed it to the limit! I was only making 3 Jalapenos (cut in half – two appetizers) and I cut the ingredients accordingly – It worked so well. Great – great flavors. I didn’t pre boil the peppers cause we love it “HOT” -They were perfect . The bake time is right on 400F 10 minutes. Thanks Kitt for a lovely Sunday appie with our Mart Marts!
