Italian Sausage ABT's

[disco]

I was assigned to bring an appetizer to a pot luck dinner. I had some home made Italian sausage and thought the sweet/spicy taste of the sausage would go great with cream cheese in an ABT.

I squeezed the filling out of two Italian sausages.

I set it aside to cool and cut 8 jalapenos in half and removed the membranes.

I creamed 125 ml (1/2 cup) cream cheese and mixed in the sausage.

I stuffed the jalapenos with the mixture and wrapped each 1/2 in a half slice of bacon.

The Verdict

These are great! The Italian sausage sweet taste goes so well with the cheese and salty bacon!

Thanks, Warren! I don't know about master but I do like to eat. Does that count? Sadly, when I try and send cooked bacon it ruins the wrapping!

Thanks, Dan. My friends and I are all seniors and don't eat as much any more but I should have known these would be popular.
