Armadillo Eggs
Description
The Country Bob Boys are gearing up for the big game. So we figured we would cook a couple of appetizers for our guys here at the plant. These Armadillo eggs will be a hit at your football party.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the Grill and Peppers
Fire up the pellet grill or smoker and get it up to 225°F using your favorite type of wood/pellets. Today we used 100% pure apple wood pellets from Smokin' Brothers. Alternatively, set up your grill (gas or charcoal) to cook indirectly. Cut the top off the jalapeño pepper and cut it in half. Remove the seeds and rinse the peppers.
-
Prepare the Filling
Mix together the cream cheese and grated cheddar. Fill the peppers with the cheese mixture.
-
Wrap the Peppers
Take some sausage and wrap it around the pepper, ensuring that none of the pepper is visible. Roll it into the shape of an egg.
-
Smoke the Armadillo Eggs
Place the armadillo eggs on the smoker or grill. Smoke for about 1.5 to 2 hours. You want the internal temperature of the sausage to reach 160°F. Also, if you notice cheese starting to bubble out of the eggs, they are likely done. Serve.
