Ingredients
  

  • 5 Jalapeno Peppers
  • 2 oz Cream Cheese room temperature
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 oz Pork Sausage cooked
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1/2 cup Beer
  • Oil for frying

Method
 

  1. preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Cut stems off of peppers. Pull out the seeds and insides of all the peppers and place each on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes until soft.
  3. While the peppers are softening in the oven, mix together the cream cheese, cooked sausage, cheese and salt. Set aside.
  4. Place enough oil in a large pot to cover the poppers and turn to high heat. Heat the oil until it is at least 350 degrees. (To test if the oil is ready, spoon a small amount of batter in the oil and if it starts to sizzle and fry, you are ready to go!)
  5. Open up a cold beer and enjoy until there is about 1/2 cup left. Whisk that with 1/2 cup flour for the beer batter.
  6. When the peppers have cooled stuff them with the cream cheese mixture. Toss in the beer batter and drop two at a time in the oil.
  7. Deep fry until the coating is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Cool in paper towels at least 2 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

These little suckers are delicious! The beer batter stays nice and thick and doesn't fall off of the pepper. The pepper itself was soft and my batch wasn't too spicy. The filling was slightly melty and ooey gooey delicious. I can see myself making these again, maybe for a party.
