Ingredients:
1 pound ground Italian sausage
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Parmesan
1 pound jalapenos, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 green onion, finely chopped
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place sausage in a skillet over medium heat, and cook until evenly brown.
Drain grease.
In a bowl, mix the sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and green onion.
Spoon about 1 Tablespoon sausage mixture into each jalapeno half.
Arrange stuffed halves in a baking dish.
Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and lightly browned.
Tips on seeding the jalapenos:
Wear gloves throughout the entire process.
Remove gloves right after so you don't transfer the oils to sink faucet, cabinet handles, etc.

A lemon zester or a melon baller works as a great tool for seeding.
As you half and seed the jalapenos, place into a bowl of continuous running water.
This helps soften them a bit so as to bake better and removes some heat.
