Armadillo Eggs
A delicious and spicy appetizer, these stuffed jalapeño peppers wrapped in sausage and cheese are perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
- cooking spray (1 pinch)
- jalapeno peppers (24 )
- Monterey Jack cheese (1 package)
- sausage (1 pound)
- Cheddar cheese (1 package)
- all-purpose baking mix (2 cups)
- crushed red pepper flakes (1 tablespoon)
- garlic salt (1 tablespoon)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Cut a slit in each jalapeño pepper; remove and discard seeds and pulp. Stuff jalapeños with Monterey Jack cheese cubes.
- Mix together sausage, Cheddar cheese, baking mix, crushed red pepper, and garlic salt in a large bowl until well combined. Shape sausage mixture around stuffed jalapeños to form egg-shaped balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until sausage is cooked through and lightly browned, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of sausage should read at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C).
