Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage – mild or spicy
- 12 oz cream cheese
- 12 Jalapeños
- 12 strips of center cut bacon
- 1 TBLSP of brown sugar
- 1/2 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Brown sausage over medium high heat, drain the fat.
- Add cream cheese to the sausage mix and stir until well blended and melted. Add cheese and stir again. Set aside.
- Cut the stems from jalapeños, slice jalapeño lengthwise down the center and remove seeds (recommend using food prep gloves to avoid absorbing the jalapeño heat).
- Slice the 12 pieces of bacon in half (for wrapping the jalapeño).
- Using a small spoon, scoop the sausage and cream cheese mix into each jalapeño popper.
- Wrap each jalapeño with 1 slice of the halved bacon, place on baking sheet. Two rows of 12 with jalapeños touching works best.
- Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the poppers, mostly on the bacon.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes at 375 degrees until the jalapeños become soft and the bacon has browned.
- Let cool slightly, serve and enjoy!
