This is a good snack for game time. This is a formal warning: this has a kick. The chorizo and the jalapeño will wake up your taste buds. Grab a beer and enjoy.
8 oz cream cheese (now I like goat cheese ‘cause it’s kinda funky, but that’s just me)
8 oz Pinconning sharp cheese, grated
4 oz ground chorizo sausage (or removed from casing)
8 strips bacon
8 jalapeño peppers
Preheat oven to 400 (the bacon won’t crisp if you use a lower temp)
In a skillet brown chorizo sausage and let cool
In a bowl mix cream cheese and cheddar
Put on a pair of rubber gloves or prepare to wash your hands a lot
Cut off stems of jalapeño
Cut slit in one side of pepper or cut in half lengthwise which is easier
Using a small spoon remove seeds and ribs
Add cheese mixture to middle of a jalapeño slice
Add chorizo on top of cheese mixture
Top with the other half of the jalapeño
Wrap in bacon; use a toothpick to secure This will also keep the pepper together
Bake for 20 minutes or until bacon is brown
Or cook for 15 minutes at 370 in an air fryer
