Armadillo eggs… did I get them right?
I did a big cookout for family over the weekend and wanted to make some appetizers so I made a couple of fatty’s and thought I’d try some armadillo eggs. I remembered seeing a post a week or so back but there were no pix so I guessed and did what seemed right.
1. Cut tops off and sliced partway down side for better access to innards.

2. Stuffed with med cheddar cheese.

3. Covered with an Italian sausage with some dry rub added.
Put onto smoker.

4. Rolled over after about 40 min or so and they were kinda sinking into the grates.

5. Sliced, picked & seved.

6. Had some left over. 1 lbs of sausauge only coverd 7 peppers. So I got creative and made an I.P.HO.D. (improvised pepper holding device), and put them on the smoker. They came out really good too.

So… did I get them right? Even if they weren’t right they where really good. Everyone liked them. We’ll every one except the wife. She said something about them being too hot. But she did say that she was able to breath afterward. Seems she did not know how stuffed up she was until after eating a small slice.

In the east, they would have to be called atomic possum eggs. An armadillo is just a possum on the half shell ;)

There can be no right or wrong with armadillo eggs.

Outstanding and I love the improvised pepper holding device, very creative.

I will be using that idea, for sure!!!
