You guys know how much I love appetizers. I would live on them if that was a responsible adult choice. At the top of this list would be these Sausage Stuffed Jalapeños – the perfect easy appetizer. Their filling is only six ingredients! The mixture of sausage and cheeses is the perfect hot and cool combination in the spicy jalapeño. This is one of those recipes that you will come back to over and over when celebrating the holidays at home. It is a recipe that everyone will want the recipe for! That being said, the spicy Italian sausage I use combined with the jalapeño itself gives these guys a kick. Sometimes recipes like this can kick up my heartburn. If you also suffer from frequent heartburn, I suggest you try Omeprazole Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODT). Omeprazole ODT, is used to treat the symptoms of frequent heartburn, and comes in handy during then holidays. It has a nice strawberry flavor, and dissolves on your tongue, so you can take it anywhere without water. Using Omeprazole ODT is a great way to relieve heartburn and continue to enjoy all those great appetizer recipes, along with anything else you might be craving. Learn more here. Use as directed for 14 days to treat frequent heartburn (occurring 2 or more days a week). May take 1-4 days for full effect. Not intended for immediate relief.
Sausage Stuffed Jalapeño Ingredients
As mentioned above, these little guys only have six ingredients!
Deseeding Jalapeños
A key step in this recipe is deseeding the jalapeños. It is just a few simple steps. Check out the video in the recipe card below to watch it unfold. I highly recommend using rubber gloves for this step of the recipe. The juice from the jalapeños gets to be a lot, and you will likely taste it on your fingers for hours to come.
Making Ahead of Time
This is a great recipe to prep ahead of time. Follow the recipe through step 4. Cover the stuffed jalapeños and put them in the refrigerator. Then pop them into the oven right before you plan to serve.
Dipping Sauces
These little guys are great on their own, but they are also delicious dipped in a sauce. I would recommend either Ranch Dressing or Blue Cheese Dressing.
