Armadillo Eggs - The Cheese Stuffed, Bacon and Sausage Wrapped, Smoked Jalapeños to Die For

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SMOKER there are a couple of alternative ways to make these: On the grill - I'd set up a hot zone and a cool zone. Cook your "eggs" on the cool zone with the grill lid closed. You could probably put some smoker chips or powder in a pouch made from aluminum foil, set on the hot zone, to create smoke. If the internal temp of your grill is in the 400F range, the eggs should take 30-40 minutes to cook. In the oven - I'd line a baking sheet with foil (for easier cleanup) and then place a wire rack on top of that. Put the eggs on the rack and bake at 400F-425F for 30 minutes. If the bacon isn't crisp enough for you, you can turn on the broiler for a minute or two at the end.

My husband got a smoker last year for smoking the deer meat and I’m sure he’ll appreciate having another reason to use it!! Looks delicious!!

I make these all the time and never even thought of using the apple corer…. Genius Steve! I normally use the handle of a spoon. You just saved me from so much frustration!! Thank you!!

These are soooo good. A friend of mine introduced me to these a few years ago. He would mix the sausage with chorizo and it was fabulous. When I make them my wife doesn't care much for chorizo so we make them like you do. We like to use Pepperjack cheese mixed in the cream cheese plus some crumbled bacon.

These look amazing. My Birthday is in the 8th and we are having a cookout then. I’ll make those!

Perfect timing! I just figured out how to make American breakfast sausage in the UK and I love jalapeños! I'll be trying to make them in the air fryer - maybe using my egg rack from my instant pot. Wish me luck!

Man now i know what else I’m smoking with my homemade bacon this weekend. Those look so good.

Looks awesome. I made a version of these for the super bowl last year. I like your idea of the piping bag and bet crisping under the broiler would really make them better, definitely going to try.

Similar to armadillo eggs we make, but we use about a quarter pound of ground beef and turn them into a burger almost. Looks amazing. Thanks for posting.

Awesome. We make 'em here in Texas all the time. Another good one is a Scotch Egg (soft-boiled egg covered in Italian sausage, covered in Pork Rinds then deep fried or baked) but use pork rind sub for bread crumbs.

Thanks for adding the alternatives as I don't have a smoker, Steve. As always, love this video of yours. Thanks for all you do for us! Yours is my favorite YouTube keto channel. You never cease to amaze me with your creativity and the science behind why Keto works.

Yeah. I want those. I want those very much.

LOVE❤LOVE❤LOVE❤bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers. This just takes it up a few more notches!

These armadillos eggs look so good, I can't wait to try them. I love jalapenos and pairing them with sausage, bacon and cheese sounds like heaven.

I heard of these first from the meat church bbq channel, a friend of mine showed me his video and made them. Slightly different in that he brushes them with bbq sauce after 90 minutes then puts them back in the smoker. They were really good.

Boy this sounds so good!! How can you go wrong with all of those yummy ingredients ❤️

Making these TODAY!!!!!! LOVE your recipes!

Great to see you cookin up a keto storm again, Steve!

Thank you so much Steve for the different alternative ways to make them😊

Great video! I can’t wait to make these now!
