Ingredients

cooking spray
24 jalapeno peppers
1 (16 ounce) package Monterey Jack cheese, cubed
1 pound sausage
1 (16 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups all-purpose baking mix
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon garlic salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking sheet with cooking spray.
Cut a slit in each jalapeño pepper; remove and discard seeds and pulp. Stuff jalapeños with Monterey Jack cheese cubes.
Mix together sausage, Cheddar cheese, baking mix, crushed red pepper, and garlic salt in a large bowl until well combined. Shape sausage mixture around stuffed jalapeños to form egg-shaped balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until sausage is cooked through and lightly browned, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of sausage should read at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C).
