1
Prepare the jalapenos by washing them and then slicing the top off.
-
2
Remove the seeds and membranes and slice them in half lengthwise.
-
3
Tip: use a rubber glove for this step so as to avoid any nasty surprises later on when you rub an eye or another body part.

Im right-handed so I usually have the glove on my left hand as Im dismembering (preparing) the jalapenos.
-
5
Set aside.
-
6
Take the cream cheese out of the fridge, place in a bowl, and let it come to room temperature while you are cooking the sausage.
-
7
Brown the sausage and stir around to crumble it up a bit.
-
8
Let it cool a little and then add it to the cream cheese.
-
9
Smoosh it together (I use a rubber glove for this step, usually the same one I used while preparing the jalapenossaves on cleanup).
-
10
Stuff the jalapeno halves with some of the sausage/cream cheese mixture and place in a greased ovenproof pan, in a single layer.
-
11
Add a slice of the cheese on top, just enough to cover the jalapeno, and place in the oven at 350 degrees F for about a half hour.
-
12
Remove from the oven and serve.
-
13
Place these on a fancy or not-so-fancy dish and serve.

Be prepared for oohs and aahs, and someone saying, Oh my, its hot, as they reach for a second one.
