One of my favorite EVER foods is jalapeno poppers! What’s not to love?? Hot, spicy peppers, cheese, sausage, and bacon – all my favorite things wrapped up in one cute little bundle and cooked on the grill. YES!

Not only are these delicious, but there are only 5 ingredients and they are gluten-free.

This recipe is so easy to prepare. Just make sure you wear gloves when cutting the peppers.

Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and the inner vein. This is where the majority of the heat is. If you prefer really spicy poppers, leave the vein in.

Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the cheddar and cream cheeses together until very well combined. This is the easiest and fastest way I have found. You could also use a hand mixer or just mix by hand.

Fill each pepper with the cheese mixture, a smokie cocktail sausage, and wrap in bacon.

I placed these on the top shelf of our grill to cook. The temperature was set at 350 degrees. If you have a single shelf grill, place the poppers to the side, not directly over the flame or they will burn.
