Armadillo Eggs (Texas-style Stuffed Jalapenos)
- 1/2 lb. jack cheese, shredded (or an 8 oz. block of cream cheese)
- 1/2 lb. cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 lb. hot sausage (like Owens
- Jimmy Dean)
- 1-1/2 cup bisquick
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 pkg. spicy Shake-N-Bake
- 20 to 30 jalapenos
- The peppers can be fresh or canned, just be sure you drain well if canned.
- You can also use the round mild cherry peppers instead.
- Slice the peppers in half lengthwise down one side only and scrape out the seeds.
- If you accidentally cut all the way through, just try to keep the two halves together.
- Mix Bisquick, sausage and cheddar in a large bowl.
- Get your assembly line ready: peppers, shredded jack cheese, sausage mixture, beaten egg in a shallow bowl, Shake-N-Bake in a shallow bowl, and baking rack on a cookie sheet, both coated with cooking spray.
- Stuff each pepper with shredded jack cheese, then stick the halves back together, if separated.
- Grab a handful of the sausage goo and wrap around the pepper in the shape of an elongated egg.
- Dip in beaten egg and roll in Shake-N-Bake to coat evenly.
- Place on baking rack.
- When the peppers are all ready, bake at 350F for 25 minutes or till crisp.
