Spicy hot links generously stuffed with creamy cheddar and zesty jalapeños, delivering a bold flavor explosion in every bite.

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Prepare the Filling

Using a sharp knife, make a slit along the length of each hot link, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each hot link with the cheese and jalapeño mixture, pressing it in gently.

Stuff the Hot Links

Use toothpicks to secure the opening of each hot link, ensuring the filling stays inside during cooking.

Secure the Stuffing

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Place the stuffed hot links on the grill or in the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and the cheese is melted.

Cook the Stuffed Hot Links

Remove the toothpicks before serving. Enjoy the cheddar jalapeño stuffed hot links warm, garnished with additional diced jalapeños or cheese if desired.
