Armadillo Eggs


Provided by Robert Boot for the April 2016 issue of BurlesonNOW Magazine.

  • 20 large jalapeños
  • 2 8-oz. pkgs. Philadelphia cream cheese
  • 2 16-oz. pkgs. extra-thick bacon
  1. Cut off the heads and gut the jalapeños. Soak jalapeños in water for a couple of hours before stuffing.
  2. Stuff jalapeños with Philadelphia cream cheese. Wrap each jalapeño with bacon. (It usually takes me two toothpicks per jalapeño to get the bacon wrapped well.)
  3. Put the peppers on the grill until bacon is cooked and jalapeños are soft. (Best practice is to cook jalapeños on indirect heat. Do not put directly over the flame.)
