Best armadillo eggs ever had was at Dodies in Dallas on Greenville. Stuffed w/ crab meat. Holy shite those things are good. I've tried to duplicate, but can't get.
Those do look damn good by the way. Never tried that w/ sausage & such.

It's really not that much, considering they are about the size of your fist. You need that layered effect to make it look like an armadillo.

Where is the best way to get whole fresh jalopenos. Just looked at whole foods but they seemed very small and not the best for armadillo eggs. planning on making some to grill while tailgating this weekend.

Surprisingly, I get them from the Albertson's on Airline. They usually have plenty of big ones. The one on Burbank/Bluebonnet had nothing but the "popper" size last week.

Also, try one of the produce stands like Fresh Pickin's or Southside Produce.

You only slice off a sliver of the pepper, not half of it. Just enough to open it up and scoop out the seeds.

i cut mine in half, scoop the seeds out, then add the cream cheese mixture. next i put the 2 sides back together before drowning it in sausage. also be careful eating these the next day, they get hotter the longer they sit around. im thinking about making some in atlanta in 2 weeks.

Has anyone ever tried it without the bacon?

Also when I make jalpeno poppers I use the garlic and chive cream cheese. It's awesome and adds a little more flavor. I would recommend using that next time you make them.

That looks good. I have made armadillo eggs completely different for years.

I take:

Grands biscuits (homestyle)
velvetta cheese (block)
a ground spicy sausage
pickled jalapenoes

make patties with the sausage and cook till done.

Flatten out the grands biscuits and place in the middle the following:
1 - jalapenoes (2 ish)
2 - slice of cheese
3 - sausage patty

then fold the biscuit corners back over the filler and pinch all ends together. It should look like a ball of goodness.

Bake till bicuit is done.

Enjoy.

Those look great although I'd call them handgranades.

oh they are always a big hit with guest. I would say the OP recipe for Armadillo eggs would be more of a gut bomb than mine. But mine hold there own as far as bombs go
