Hello!
With the Super Bowl Game coming up on Sunday, I thought I'd get my February Newsletter out early this month and share a great appetizer with you. I got this recipe from a lovely woman named Cora who works with my husband. This recipe for Stuffed Jalapenos is sure to please all those football fans who like their party food a little spicy! The funny thing about jalapeno peppers is that some are hot and some are mild. You never know what you're going to get until you bite into it. When preparing these peppers, you MUST wear gloves to protect your hands. Trust me! One time I cut and seeded many jalapeno peppers for my fresh salsa without gloves. My hands were on fire the rest of the day! I learned my lesson, that's for sure! You can buy a package of 10 (thin) rubber gloves in the grocery store for $1.99.
This recipe can be prepared and refrigerated the day before the Super Bowl. Then all you need to do is pop them in the oven when your guests arrive! I hope you enjoy them!
Take care!

Stuffed Jalapenos
Ingredients
1 lb. pork bulk sausage
20 - 22 large jalapeno peppers
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
Directions
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage until no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Drain and set aside to cool.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese on low speed. Add the cooled sausage and mix well. Cover and refrigerate.
3. USING GLOVES, cut the stem end off of the peppers and cut each pepper in half (lengthwise). Remove the seeds with a paring knife.
4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture in each half. Place the stuffed jalapenos on a large, ungreased sheet pan. Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
The Stuffed Jalapenos are great all by themselves or they can be served with Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing.
