Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
½poundsMonterey Jack Cheese
½poundsSharp cheddar cheese
½poundsHot pork sausage*
cupBisquick mix
1Egg
1packPork flavor Shake 'n Bake
20Whole jalapeno peppers**

Directions

*Jimmy Dean Sausage brand is best **Use 20-30 peppers-may use fresh, but success reported when using bottled or canned

Slice peppers in half lengthwise and scrape out all the seeds (wear gloves). Try to keep both halves near each other as you have to put them back together later. Mix bisquick, raw sausage & cheddar cheese.

Stuff each pepper with Monterey Jack cheese and put the halves back together. Grab a handful of bisquick mixture and mold around pepper in shape of elongated egg. Use enough to cover pepper wiell. Dip armadillo egg in beaten egg and roll in Shake 'n Bake. Bake on broiler pan (can use cookie sheet) at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until crisp.
