These delicious appetisers feature fresh jalapenos stuffed with a creamy blend of cheese, onion, and garlic salt, then wrapped in bacon. Baking them on a rack over a sheet allows the bacon to crisp perfectly while catching drippings. When the seeds are fully removed, the peppers offer flavour without excessive heat, making them a consistently popular party snack that always disappears quickly.

Armadillo Eggs (Stuffed Jalapenos)

Ingredients

  • 15 fresh jalapenos
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons minced onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • thin sliced bacon

Method

  1. Halve the fresh jalapenos and remove all the seeds thoroughly.
  2. Combine the cream cheese with minced onions and garlic salt, then fill each pepper half with the mixture.
  3. Take half a strip of thin sliced bacon and wrap it around each stuffed jalapeno.
  4. Position a cookie rack over a cookie sheet and arrange the wrapped peppers on top to catch drips.
  5. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until the bacon becomes crisp.
  6. Thin bacon is easier to wrap around the peppers.
  7. Simply tuck the loose ends of the bacon underneath each piece.
  8. If all seeds are cleaned out, these peppers will not be hot.
  9. These are always popular and tend to run out no matter how many you prepare.
