Noel's Favorites
NOEL & DENNY's
Armadillo Eggs
(Take
it from me...these are wonderful! Not for the fainthearted, however.)
Ingredients:
1 lb. Monterey Jack Cheese
1 lb. Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 lb. Owens Hot County Sausage
1/2 c. Onion, Finely Chopped
3 c. Bisquick Mix
2 27-Ounce Cans Pickled Jalapeno Peppers
2 Eggs
1 Box Shake 'n Bake for Pork (4-Pack)
Grate both cheeses, mix together
and divide in half. Mix together raw Owen Hot Country Sausage, half of the
grated cheese, onions and the bisquick mix. Knead mixture into a stiff
dough. Let stand. Slit jalapenos and remove all seeds. Rinse peppers, then
stuff with other half of cheese mixture and put back together. Take a small
ball of the dough mixture, flatten and form around each pepper to form egg.
When all peppers are covered with dough mixture, dip into beaten egg and then
Shake 'n Bake. Bake at 325 degrees for twenty to twenty five minutes until
golden brown.
These freeze very well. Just stop after you have wrapped the outside of the
jalapenos.
I look forward to receiving a tin of these EVERY Christmas!
