Ingredients

cooking spray

24 jalapeno peppers

16 oz Monterey Jack cheese, cubed

1 lb spicy sausage

16 oz Cheddar cheese, shredded

2 cups all-purpose baking mix

1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes

1 tbsp garlic salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Slice a slit in each jalapeño pepper, remove and discard seeds and pulp. Stuff peppers with Monterey Jack cheese cubes.

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

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