Stuff jalapeños with cheese. Divide sausage into 16 small balls; press into thin strips. Place a stuffed jalapeño onto each sausage strip; roll jalapeño in the sausage, pressing firmly. Place wrapped jalapeños on an ungreased baking pan and bake 40 to 50 minutes at 350 degrees, until sausage is browned. Remove from oven; allow to cool 10 minutes. Flatten biscuits; wrap one jalapeño roll in each biscuit and return to pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden.
Crispy air and azure skies,
High above, a white cloud flies,
Bright as newly fallen snow.
Oh the joy to those who know October!
