Stuffed Jalapenos

Always a big hit at potlucks and parties.

Ingredients:
12 to 15 jalapeno peppers
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup parmesan cheese
12-oz breakfast sausage (Jimmy Dean roll)
Garlic salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste

1. Wash jalapeno peppers, slice in half lenthwise, and remove ALL of the seeds.

2. Brown and drain the sausage.

3. Mix cream cheese and sausage in a mixing bowl. Add parmesan cheese. Add garlic salt, black pepper, and/or cayenne pepper to taste. Sausage-cheese mixture should be a little bland since the peppers will add heat.

4. Spoon mixture into pepper halves and place on a baking sheet.

5. Bake for 20 minutes at 400° F or until the top of the stuffed peppers is browned.

Sausage-cheese mixture can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
