The sodium in this version is too much for me. Not from a health standpoint but from an edible standpoint.

I prefer to use an uncured bacon and either grind your own pork or by ground pork and season it yourself. Contrast it with bruising a sweeter sauce or honey at the end

Would you do straight in the oven with a pan on the rack below?

I saw a recipe where you stuff and wrap an avocado like that.

Chorizo would be really good.

I usually put them on a cookie rack on top of a cookie sheet/baking pan. That gives plenty clearance for the bacon fat to drop off.

But I guess your way would work too. Just make sure those frickers don’t move or you cold start a fire if that grease gets on the lower element.

Nah, ABTs don't have the pepper completely encased in sausage or chicken. It's just the stuffed pepper wrapped in bacon.

My father and I have an ongoing tradition since 2001 where we smoke Armadillo Eggs for every LSU/BAMA game. We never put the jalapeno back together like that. That is a pretty cool presentation and definitely adds more pepper flavor than just using a half pepper. We will be doing it your way this year. Thanks for the pics!

I may try them this weekend. Did you cook to a certain internal or sausage layer temp or just until the bacon looked done?

I always thought Armadillo eggs were something different

Maybe you're thinking of a Scotch egg which is a soft boiled egg carefully wrapped in Jimmy Dean sausage then deep fried.

Still no Info posted about cook time on the smoker or temperature. Sad.

He replied to you above...225 for 4-6hrs.

I was wondering if he just went off the look of the bacon or if it took internal temps of any part of it.

Pork has to be cooked to an internal temp of 145.

is this a new thread? did people not know abotu these? do yall people tailgate? these are at most every tailgate i have ever been to.

But these are too big. best to cut the jalapeno dont the center and get part of the stem on each side. and make them just the same but with half the sausage and bacon for each one. it makes them way more manageable and almost bite size.

These look freakin' amazing. I do a very similar version but after wrapping in sausage, I coat them in Shake n' Bake versus wrapped bacon, and pop them in the oven.
