Bacon, Sausage & ARC Jalapeño Poppers

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Lay the bacon on a cookie sheet and bake for about five minutes or until starting to get a little brown. Remove from the oven and let cool. In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, cook the sausage and chop into small crumbles. Once fully cooked, drain in a colander and let cool.
2. Bring four cups of water to a boil in a small pot. Add in the one tablespoon of salt and the seeded peppers. Let simmer for one minute.
3. Mix together the cooked sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Then, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese & sausage mixture. Once filled, wrap each pepper with a half slice of bacon, using a toothpick to secure the bacon.
4. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until bacon is crispy and browned. Serve immediately.
