Title: Armadillo Eggs
Categories: Appetizer Cheese Tex
Yield: 15 Servings

1/2	lb	Monterey Jack Cheese
1/2	lb	Sharp cheddar cheese
1/2	lb	Hot pork sausage*
1 1/2	c	Bisquick mix
1		Egg
1	pk	Pork flavor Shake 'n Bake
20		Whole jalapeno peppers**

*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.
