Absolutely Fantastic Armadillo Legs Jalapeno Poppers Recipes

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ARMADILLO LEGS /JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Wash, cut each pepper in half lengthwise, remove seeds, veins and stems as you want.
• Fill each pepper with cream cheese.
• Wrap with a strip of the pepper bacon.
• Repeat, until done.
• Lay pepper side down, over flame of medium heat grill until bacon is crispy, (approx. 1/2 hr). DO NOT TURN. These can also be cooked in the oven, probably 350°F for 1/2 hr, or until bacon is crispy, or if you can manage to supervise them under the broiler, that would be a great way too if you can't cook them on a grill.
• If grilling, move to top rack (if you have one) until served (devoured).

ARMADILLO EGGS (STUFFED JALAPENOS)

Steps:

• Slice jalapenos in half and clean out seeds (be sure to get them all or they will be hot).
• Mix cheese, onion and garlic salt together and spoon into jalapeno halves.
• Wrap each with 1/2 strip of bacon.
• Place on cookie rack placed over a cookie sheet to catch the drippings.
• Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until the bacon is crisp.
• The thin bacon wraps easier.
• I just tuck the ends under the bottom.
• Amazingly, these are not hot if you get all the seeds out.
• There are never enough of them no matter how many I make because they are so popular.
