I made this recipe for my family and they thought they were great. Always asking me to make them again.

This dish has been a hit! Now I'm "told" what to bring to pot-luck dinners. I've modified the recipe by using garlic powder instead of the salt. To save time, I chop up the jalopeno's and place with the cheese on top of the coating mixture. Then I roll into logs and bake. After they cool, I slice and serve with ranch dressing. They usually disappear within minutes!

This was a VERY disapointing recipe. It took an hr and forty minutes just to prepare and that is not including cooking time. I used annahime peppers, and decided to follow another readers sugestion by cutting the peppers up. I cored and seeded peppers, then stuffed some with monterery jack cheese and others with cream cheese. I thought this would speed things up. Next came the sausage mixture. This took forever as well. The taste was very ordinary, if not on the bland side. I guess after spending so much time preparing I sort of expected different results. Sorry. I just can't find enough good with this dish.

Ok, I had a little trouble with these - first of all they are HUGE. I even halved my jalepeno's but after covering it in the sausage mixture, they came out enormous. I even flattened out a sausage patty to wrap around the jalepeno and made it as thin as possible and still - BIG. The problem was when they baked, a couple of them the sausage mixture started to slide off the jalepeno, Im thinking because of all the cheese in the sausage mixture. I stuffed some with cream cheese and some with cheddar, the cream cheese ones were better, I have to say. We put the rest in the freezer and my husband decided to reheat some yesterday and they tasted so much better. Im thinking maybe not put so much cheese in the sausage mixture and use smaller jalepenos? I dont know, I will make this again but I need to mess with it. Very good though.

These were a huge hit at the last Super Bowl party! We loved them, I had tons of requests for the recipe and I've been told I have to bring them every year! I used jarred jalapenos and hot sausage, they were even hotter the next day. Stuffing the peppers is time consuming and I will wear gloves next time as my hands burned after making a double-batch, but the response was worth it! I served these with a jalapeno-ranch dressing (will post the recipe soon. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

Wow! Great hit at our Super Bowl party - but hot!! A little labor intensive, but worth it! My son loves jalapeno poppers so I tried these. Used lean chorizo sausage & sharp cheddar, and no red pepper flakes or garlic salt in dough. I also stuffed jalapenos with cubes of cream cheese, instead of the jack. These were HOT - but delicious!!

These were good but next time I don't think I will make 'eggs'. I think I will just roll out the sausage dough with a greased roller and put green chili peppers and shredded pepper jack cheese on half of the dough, fold over, seal, and then cook. Let it cool enough so the cheese doesn't run, then slice into bite size pieces. I left out the pepper flakes because I didn't want 'hot'. I also only used 2 teaspoons of garlic salt and that was plenty. As another reviewer stated, had to add 1/3 cup of milk to get the extremely dry mixture to mix.

This is a very time consuming and tedious recipe, but as with many other things in life, the finished product is worth the wait! I have made these several times exactly as the recipe states. Next time, I may follow another viewers advice and cut the peppers in half. That should cut down on the pepper prep time. These armadillo eggs are a family favorite.

These are good hot from the oven or cold from the fridge. Great appetizer for casual get togethers. I have a couple of time saving tips: Cut the stem off of the jalapeno and scoop out the seeds and membrane with the tip of your potato peeler. Rather than cubing the cheese, cut it into rectangles and just slip it in from the end that you cut the stem from. For the reviewer who wanted more zip: toss the balls into Shake and Bake for Pork, the hot and spicy type. That ups the heat without hiding the flavor.

I had a mexican dinner party last night at my house and my friends couldnt get enough of these. They are so good. I made 24 of them and only had 2 left (there was only 4 of us). I used italian hot sausage instead of regular to spice it up a bit more. They were not as spicy as I thought they would be. Next time, I am going to try to add something different to give them a little more of a kick (Maybe some hot pepper cheese instead of cheddar). Just a tip, make sure you wear gloves when working with the peppers. I am still have trouble with my hands burning. Try this recipe. It is wonderful!!

The batter needs about 1/2 cup of milk to make the it stick to the pepper and cheese. Just the right amount of spiciness for me.

Excellent and quite filling appetizer. These are definitely not finger food and require a fork and plate. I used the canned jalapenos and the Pepper Jack cheese as someone else recommended and they came out terrific. I served Jalapeno Ranch Dressing as a dipping sauce. My host asked me for the recipe so I would say they were a hit.

Excellent taste. However, slitting, deseeding and removing the pulp is quite tedious. Next time I will have someone help with that part.

OH MY... Delisious!! You must like spicy and we do!! We had them for the superbowl, leftovers were used as a side with our dinner, they reheat well. These are mostly big, eat them with a knife and fork and dip them in to some jalepeno ranch or other favorite. For extra spice, I used spicy sausage, Peper Jack Cheese and caned jalepenos in juice (less work). If the jalepenos are way to big cut them in half, this works great. Thanks for a great recipe!!!!!!!
