Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Crumble sausage and cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until well browned; drain.
Return sausage to skillet. Add chili powder (if using), garlic, vinegar, and oregano; mix well.
Now switch to low heat and stir in cream cheese. Mix until well combined. Turn off the heat. Add cheddar and feta into the sausage mixture.
Press large spoonful of sausage mixture onto each jalapeño half; place on baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 17 minutes until the filling is hot and jalapeño edges begin to wilt.
