Armadillo Eggs

Ingredients

• cooking spray

• 24 jalapeno peppers

• 1 (16 ounce) package Monterey Jack cheese, cubed

• 1 pound sausage

• 1 (16 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, shredded

• 2 cups all-purpose baking mix

• 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

• 1 tablespoon garlic salt

  
  

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease a medium baking sheet with cooking spray.

   
   

2. Cut a slit in each jalapeño pepper; remove and discard seeds and pulp. Stuff jalapeños with Monterey Jack cheese cubes.

   
   

3. 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.

   
   

4. 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.
