Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until browned. Top with minced jalapeno or chopped parsley, sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese. Enjoy with sour cream or ranch dressing.

CAN I FREEZE SAUSAGE-STUFFED JALAPENOS?

Once you have filled the jalapeno peppers with a creamy filling, arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer (stuffed jalapenos shouldn't touch).
