SHAKE-N-BAKE ARMADILLO EGGS

• 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.
• Place the beaten egg in a shallow bowl,.
• also put the Shake N Bake in a shallow bowl.
• Stuff each pepper with shredded jack, then stick the halves back together, if separated.
• Grab a handful of the sausage mixture 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 a greased baking sheet. When the peppers are all ready, bake at 350F for 25 minutes or till crisp.

• CAUTION! IF USING HABENAROS, USE OWN DISCRETION AS TO PEPPER PROPORTIONS. Maybe make some jalapeno and some habenaros.
• Be sure to de seed peppers accordingly depending on your tolerance for oral agony!

ARMADILLO EGGS

Steps:

• You will need toothpicks for this. I buy the strong kind so that they don't break easy. Soak toothpicks in water for about 30 minutes.
• First you will need to cut jalapenos lengthwise in half and remove seeds. You can use canned jalapenos; I just prefer fresh.
• Flatten chicken to about 1" and cut into 4-6 pieces (enough to roll over a jalapeno half). Season with whatever seasonings you prefer. I use my Dad's homemade seasonings.
• Take a chicken piece, roll it around a jalapeno half, then roll 1 slice of bacon over top and secure with a toothpick. This may take a while; I usually do this the night before I grill or bake them.
• Cook on grill until bacon is crisp and chicken is cooked through.
• You can bake these in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes; I just like them grilled.
• You can steal some off the grill as you are cooking them! YUM!
• If you have extra jalapenos left over, grill 'em if you can take the heat!
