Celebrate the New Year Entertaining with Jimmy Dean Sausage Recipes #giveaway

Jimmy Dean is our family favorite brand of sausage. I always buy Jimmy Dean maple sausage for our family. It’s my husband’s favorite and I enjoy it too. It’s always the same quality. Delicious. Yesterday my husband made Sausage Corn Chowder and I’m really looking forward to having the left overs tonight for dinner. I’m so proud to have a husband that can cook when he is needed in the kitchen.

Jimmy Dean sent me some recipes to share with you. I’ve shared two of them, well I have two more to share with you as well. I can’t wait to try them when I’m better and back in my rightful position as the head chef in the family. Jimmy Dean has been working with Sissy Biggers, Lifestyle and Food Expert. Sissy Biggers’ tips can be found at Jimmydean.com.

Jimmy Dean Sausage Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients:

1 pkg. Regular Flavor Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage, cooked, crumbled, and drained
1 pkg. (16 oz.) large fresh mushrooms
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Italian-style bread crumbs
1 tablespoon melted butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Remove stems from mushrooms; reserve for another use. Place mushrooms rounded side down in two greased 9" X 13" baking dishes. Drain and press spinach to remove excess liquid. In a large bowl, combine cooked sausage, spinach, Parmesan cheese and olive oil; mix well. Stuff sausage mixture into mushroom caps. Sprinkle with bread crumbs; drizzle with melted butter. Bake 30 minutes or until topping is brown and bubbly.

Serving size:

about 30 appetizers

Jimmy Dean Inside Out Sausage Poppers

Ingredients:

1 pkg. Regular Flavor Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage
4 whole pickled jalapeno peppers, drained
4 oz. (1 cup) pepper jack cheese, cut into 1/2" cubes
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 F. Divide and roll uncooked sausage into 1 oz. meatballs. Press thumb into each ball, creating a small bowl shape. Use a knife to remove stems from jalapeno peppers. Slice in quarters lengthwise; remove seeds. Wrap one jalapeno strip around a cube of cheese; press into meatball. Work sausage back into a meatball shape, enclosing cheese and jalapeno. Repeat with remaining meatballs. In a small bowl, combine eggs, milk and salt; stir well. Measure breadcrumbs into a separate bowl. Dip each meatball in egg mixture, then in breadcrumbs to completely coat. Bake on a large non-stick baking sheet 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool on pan 5 minutes before serving. Discard any remaining egg and breadcrumbs.

Serving size:

12-16 poppers
