INGREDIENTS

  • 12 Whole Jalapenos
  • 8 Ounces Fresh Ground Pork Sausage
  • 8 Ounces Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Cup Bisquick Baking Mix
  • 1/4 Cup Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Lane’s BBQ Magic Dust Rub
  • 1 Jar Unicoi Preserves Cherry Jalapeno Spread

Instructions

  • Grilling Preparation

  • Set up your grill for direct grilling and preheat to 400 degrees. Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. I like to use a small spoon to scoop out the inside of the peppers.

  • Grate the cheese. I prefer to use an aged sharp white cheddar cheese for this recipe. Cabot 3 year aged white cheddar is an ideal choice.

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage, grated cheese, Bisquick, milk and Magic Dust and mix thoroughly by hand to combine the ingredients.

  • Stuff the prepared peppers with the sausage mixture, packing it in firmly. I like to overfill the peppers slightly, mounding the mixture into the pepper half. Continue until all peppers are stuffed.

  • Place peppers on the pre-heated grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the sausage mixture is dark golden brown and jalapenos are slightly charred.

  • Glaze the top of the peppers with Cherry Jalapeno Spread and cook an additional 2 minutes to set the glaze. Remove from the grill and serve immediately.

  • Oven Preparation

  • Alternatively, you can prepare these in your oven. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

  • Place the prepared peppers on a foil lined cookie sheet and bake on the middle rack 15-20 minutes, until the sausage mixture is dark golden brown.

  • Glaze the peppers with Cherry Jalapeno Spread and cook an additional 2 minutes to set the glaze.
