Armadillo Eggs

Does anyone have any tips or good recipes for armadillo eggs? I saw them on a tailgating show yesterday and think I'll whip some up this weekend. [p]For those who have never heard of them, they are jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese, encased in spicy ground sausage, wrapped in bacon and then grilled.

    Suck Creek Wings,[p]When I make them I don't wrap in bacon. I also like some with a sweet or breakfast sausage to give a contrasting flavor to the hot pepper.[p]The original recipes I read called for Bisquick in the sausage, which I tried & did not like. They also called for yellow food dye in the cream cheese, which does look neat when you cut them, but I don't do that anymore either.[p]~thirdeye~

    Happy Trails

    vidalia1,
    Basic ABT: pepper cut in half, seeded, stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon.[p]Basic Arm Egg: Pepper cut and seeded stuffed with cream cheese (yellow food coloring added to look like egg yoke), both sides of the pepper put back together to form whole pepper ( some people cut top of pepper and seed from the top), entire pepper is then encased in a sweet sausage. When you cut the Armadillo egg in half it looks cool.[p]So in short, one is wrapped in bacon and the other is totally sealed in a sausage.
    I'm sure another post will show photos.

    Suck Creek Wings,
    Not sure if you already know or not but protect you hands from the peppers. Cleaning them bare handed is not fun...
