Here is a nice variation on these treats. The sausage wrapping eliminates any cheese leaking out.
These are VERY big, so a few go a long way!
Armadillo Eggs
10 Jalapeno pepper
STUFFING
1/2 package Cream cheese
1/2 cup Cheese, Sharp cheddar
1/2 cup Cheese, Mozzarella
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Chili powder
BREADING
1/2 pound Pork sausage, raw
1/2 pound Cheese, Sharp cheddar
1 1/2 cups Bisquick
2 Egg(s)
1 package Shake & Bake, Pork
PREPARATION:
Split the Jalaps in half lengthwise and de-seed.
Mix together the STUFFING ingredients and pack the Jalaps. Put the Jalaps back together.
Mix the Bisquick, sausage and Cheddar cheese.
Take this mixture and form around a Jalap. Use enough to cover completely.
Beat the eggs.
Dip the covered jalaps in the egg and then roll in the Shake and Bake.
Cook at 350 for 25 minutes. You can also grill/smoke these, turning a couple times.
