Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 large jalapeno peppers or however many you wanna stuff
- 8 ounces cream cheese to make it creamy and dreamy inside
- 1 teaspoon chili powder to bring up the heat level

Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This step is key for crisping that bacon at the end.
- Cut those jalapenos in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. You remember it's gonna get spicy so watch your fingers.
- Mix cream cheese, chili powder, garlic, salt, and pepper till it's all blended and smooth. You gotta taste a little cause seasoning is key here.
- Stuff each jalapeno half with that creamy mixture like it's a little treasure chest of yum.
- Now grab the Italian sausage and mold it around the jalapenos real snug. Make sure it's covered from all sides.
- Wrap each one tightly with a slice of bacon. If the bacon's slipping, toothpicks got your back to hold it all together.
- Place all those bad boys on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 30 minutes. Watch for that bacon to get crispy and sausage cooked through.
