Roasted jalapeños stuffed with three kinds of cheese & sausage are a major winner for everyone who loves a little spiciness.

Here’s a recipe that I’ve made for years and come back to over and over! Roasted jalapeños stuffed with three kinds of cheese & sausage are a major winner for everyone who loves a little spiciness. Plus there are some vegetables too, so y’know – healthy-ish.

These are a great make-ahead party appetizer; roast the peppers and make the filling the day before, then just stuff and bake! They even freeze well once they’re fully cooked.

Roasted jalapeños stuffed with three kinds of cheese & sausage are a major winner for everyone who loves a little spiciness.

They might not be the most elegant appetizers, but if you have a jalapeño-loving crowd these will definitely be a hit! The danger is in filling up with these spice bombs and washing them down with chilly rosé before the main event… but I won’t tell anyone if you want to just call them dinner.
