For a milder flavor, soak the seeded jalapeños in ice water for 30 minutes before stuffing. To ensure even cooking, use jalapeños that are roughly the same size. If you don't have seasoned coating mix, use breadcrumbs seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. These armadillo eggs can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, BBQ sauce, or a spicy aioli.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, bacon bits, chopped chives, and hot sauce. Mix until well combined and set aside. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, thoroughly mix the pork sausage with the shredded Cheddar cheese. Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the sausage. (5 minutes)
04
StepOn a rimmed plate, combine the seasoned coating mix, ground cumin, and chili powder. Mix well to create the coating mixture. (2 minutes)

StepCarefully slice a slit lengthwise into each jalapeño pepper. Using a small spoon or knife, remove the seeds and membranes to reduce the heat. (15 minutes)

StepStuff each jalapeño pepper generously with the cream cheese mixture. Ensure the peppers are well-filled. (10 minutes)
07
StepTake a portion of the sausage mixture and press it firmly around each stuffed jalapeño, completely encasing the pepper. (15 minutes)
