This tastylooking (cheesestuffed jalapenos inside small sausagecheese
rolls). pleasantly warm appetizer was posted on Fidonet's main recipe echo
by the redoubtable Marjorie Scofield. I would personally substitute much
hotter peppers, of course. g

NOTE: Use a spicy breading mix made for pork or for less spicy dish use
unseasoned fine dry bread crumbs. A mixture of pork breading crumbs and
plain crumbs is good to use.

1. Cut off stem ends from the peppers.

2. Stuff peppers lightly with cheese, then set aside.

3. Thoroughly mix sausage, biscuit mix, and remaining cheese. Make small
patties from the mixture. Place a pepper in the center of each patty, then
wrap and seal the dough around the pepper. Coat one or two balls at a time
by shaking them in a plastic bag with the pork breading mix or seasoning of
your choice.

4. In a lightly greased skillet, brown sausage balls until the sausage is
thoroughly cooked, turning several times. Let cool a bit on a paper towel
and serve.
