CHILE Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Ingredients: Fresh Jalapenos (as many as you need - 1 per "egg") 8 oz. Cream Cheese (this will be enough for at least 2 dozen "eggs") Yellow food coloring Your favorite uncooked sausage (like jimmy dean's) A bit of your favorite rub Cut off the end of the jalapenos and seed and devien them. Set aside. Place the cream cheese in a bowl and soften, then mix 1 cap full of the yellow food coloring and blend with the cream cheese until all of it has a consistent yellow color. fill the yellow cream cheese into the jalapenos until they are full. Make some 1/4" to 1/2" thick sausage patties and wrap them around the jalapeno (pinch the edges and ends together to seal.) Now shape them into an "egg". Throw 'em on the smoker for 1 1/2 hours at 210-220 and TA-DA! Armadillo eggs! Slice them like a hard-boiled egg (about 1/2"-1" thick) so your guests can see the "shell" (the sausage), the "egg" (the jalapeno) and the "yolk" (the yellow cream cheese.)

Nator Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 and the rub is used when I think you forgot tell us when to use the rub. I am guessing either in the cream cheese mixture or last on the sausage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
