Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for a milder flavor, or keep them if you prefer more heat.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Sausage

    Using a sharp knife, carefully make a slit along the length of the smoked sausage to create a pocket. Stuff each pocket with a half of a jalapeño and a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.

  3. 3

    Season the Sausage

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Brush this mixture over the stuffed sausages.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sausage

    Place the stuffed sausages on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until evenly cooked and the cheese is melted.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sausages from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve on buns and garnish with fresh cilantro.
