Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers

This is a classic football food that everyone wants when at home watching the game. Especially playoffs! These warm, cheesy, delicious bites won’t last long when serving so you should make a double batch. Don’t forget to serve with some ranch dressing for dipping.*

12	Jalapenos, halved and seeded
8 oz	Cream Cheese, softened
3/4 cup	Siwin Foods Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage, finely diced
1/2 cup	Cheddar Cheese, grated

Instructions

Combine cream cheese, sausage, cheddar, garlic, and jalapenos together. Spoon mixture into a piping bag or into a large re-sealable freezer bag. Close and snip off a corner end if using. Pipe cream cheese mixture into the fresh jalapenos halves. Or spoon cream cheese mixture into jalapeno halves.
Place flour, salt and pepper in one bowl. Whisk milk and egg in another bowl. Put the breadcrumbs into a separate shallow dish.
Dip jalapenos in the flour, then the milk and finally into the bread crumbs making sure it is all coated. (To make sure the jalapeno is coated re-dip in the milk and back into the breadcrumbs.)
