Sausage Stuffed Jalopenas

1 pound(500 g) ground Italian sausage (or regular pork or whatever appeals to you) 8 oz (250 g) cream cheese, softened 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (original recipe used parmesan) 1 pound (500 g) jalapenos, halved lengthwise and seeded 1 green onion, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 425F/220C degrees. Place sausage in a skillet over medium heat, and cook until evenly brown. Drain grease. In a bowl, mix the sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and green onion. Spoon about 1 tablespoon sausage mixture into each jalapeno half. Arrange stuffed halves in a baking dish. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and lightly browned.

***Tips on seeding the jalapenos. 1) Wear gloves throughout the entire process, then remove right after so you don't transfer to sink faucet, cabinet handles, etc. 2) I love my little lemon zester tool for seeding but a small melon baller works great too. 3) As you half and seed the jalapenos, put into a bowl of continuous running water. This helps soften to bake better and removes some heat.***
