Ingredients:
- 1 pkg. Regular Flavor Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage
- 4 whole pickled jalapeno peppers, drained
- 4 oz. (1 cup) pepper jack cheese, cut into 1/2" cubes
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Divide and roll uncooked sausage into 1 oz. meatballs. Press thumb into each ball, creating a small bowl shape. Use a knife to remove stems from jalapeno peppers. Slice in quarters lengthwise; remove seeds. Wrap one jalapeno strip around a cube of cheese; press into meatball. Work sausage back into a meatball shape, enclosing cheese and jalapeno. Repeat with remaining meatballs. In a small bowl, combine eggs, milk and salt; stir well. Measure breadcrumbs into a separate bowl. Dip each meatball in egg mixture, then in breadcrumbs to completely coat. Bake on a large non-stick baking sheet 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool on pan 5 minutes before serving. Discard any remaining egg and breadcrumbs.
Serving size:
12-16 poppers
