Now that football season has started, I know that I am going to have to keep a good supply of snacks on hand for my husband. For whatever reason, he thinks that he has to have a snack when he watches the games. I told him that one day I am going to sit and write a “Football Wives Survival Guide” and include all the tasty recipes that I throw together. You know…I bet I would make a killing on that thing!
So I thought I’d share one of his favorites – especially since you can put it together at a great price with the current Publix coupons! Whip up a batch of Sausage Stuffed Jalapeños the next time you need a game day snack or even an easy party appetizer.
The recipe is super simple. It’s actually a slightly modified recipe from the Jimmy Dean website. That recipe calls for a roll of pork sausage, (which is delicious…I have made it that way too) but I opt for pre-cooked turkey sausage crumbles to cut down on the prep-time! I also use low fat cream cheese and 2% cheddar cheese. I figure my husband and his buddies don’t need all the extra calories. If you have calories to spare…go for the original recipe but if you want to shave off a few calories and some of the prep you have to try this version.
