Ingredients

  • 12 jalapeños
  • 1 lb. hot italian sausage
  • 1/2 red bell pepper finely diced
  • 1/2 red onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz. fat-free cream cheese
  • 2 oz. parmesan grated
  • salt to taste
  • 4 oz. mozzarella cheese finely shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Slice jalapeños in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds & veins with a spoon. Arrange cut-side-down on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Roast jalapeños at 350° for 10 minutes, then remove and set oven to broil.
  • While jalapeños are roasting, cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add bell peppers, onions, and garlic and cook until peppers & onions are soft. Remove from heat and let cool 10 minutes.
  • Combine sausage mixture, cream cheese, parmesan, and salt in a large bowl. Stuff filling evenly into roasted jalapeño halves, then sprinkle mozzarella on top.
  • Broil for 2-3 minutes, until mozzarella has melted. Let cool for a minute and serve hot.
