It was time to try a different version of Jalapeno Poppers.
Years ago in Texas in a little seedy bar in Dallas, I discovered an item called Armadillo Eggs, they were fantastic and long forgotten, but with my new deep fryer, I thought it might be time to recreate Armadillo Eggs. I was reminded the other day watching Diners Drive-Ins and Dives!
So I gathered the ingredients, watched a few You Tube videos on various versions, every Texan has his own recipe. The one that most matched my memory is what I was determined to make.
Made my favorite stuffing!
Cream cheese,, Monterey jack and real bacon bits.
Stuffed the peppers!
Rolled out the sausage!
This did not work real well - bad You Tube suggestion just grab a wad of sausage and roll the pepper in your hand until it is coated, dirty hands but much faster.
As suggested I put these in the freezer for an hour!
Meanwhile pulled out a couple Vidalia Onions and got the onion rings ready!
Mixed up some waffle mix - Thanks Ralph Foore for the suggestion!
Tired and hot rather than get out bread crumbs and make more of a mess, just decided to use the remaining Waffle Batter!
ARMADILLO EGGS - My Version!!
Now the remaining peppers are in the oven!
Now time to sharpen up my Pitmaster Skills.
New outside porch table arrived and set up!
Time to set up my smoker!
