· 15 – 20 Jalapeno peppers
· 1 lb Italian sausage – mild
· 1 - 8 oz. package cream cheese – room temp

Preheat oven to 425. Remove the stems from the peppers, halve lengthwise and remove the seeds. Brown the sausage, drain excess oil and let cool. In a large bowl, mix together the sausage, cream cheese and parmesan cheese to be used as the stuffing. Fill each jalapeno half with a spoonful of the stuffing mix and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 15 – 18 minutes until the cheese begins to brown. Plate accordingly along with some ranch dressing for dipping.
