Ingredients

• 1 pound sausage
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 (16 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 cups all-purpose baking mix
• 24 jalapeno peppers
• 1 (16 ounce) package Monterey Jack cheese, cubed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking sheet.

Step 2

Cut a slit in each jalapeño pepper; remove and discard seeds and pulp. Stuff jalapeños with Monterey Jack cheese cubes.

Step 3

Mix together sausage, Cheddar cheese, baking mix, crushed red pepper, and garlic salt in a large bowl until well combined. Shape sausage mixture around stuffed jalapeños to form egg-shaped balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until sausage is cooked through and lightly browned, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of sausage should read at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C).
