This is one of those recipes that every time I taste, I question why I don’t make them every weekend. If you have a smoker and …
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.
Thanks for sharing, Steve. While I've done something similar with the oven in the past, it didn't include the sausage or BBQ seasoning. I might have to try this as is in the air fryer. Would you recommend adding some liquid smoke for people that don't have a smoker?
Looks simple enough to make.
I am going to try your recipe out. Wonder how would work with Poblano peppers.
Thank you for such great ideas.
I'm from Texas and these are a staple here! Thank you Steve for sharing.
Not sure if anyone mentioned, but if you don't like the hot peppers, I am gonna try these with the small sweet peppers.
Made these yesterday. Another fantastic recipe!!!
Do you have a cookbook for sale?
These look and sound YUMMY!
We made a version of these with Serrano peppers for my chilehead nephew and mild hatch for gringo me. Used the oven. They also make an awesome breakfast with a couple of eggs 🥚.
Do Armadillo’s have eggs? Was not going to watch this vid, cause my face turned green. No eggs at all. I am smiling, do not pretend to be a rocket scientist. LOL. LOL. At least I can laugh at my silly self!
Looks good. I have been trying to go Keto for a year now. Always hit the same ruts. Single parent, don't have the ingredients or money to buy all of them, don't have the time. Maybe you can put together about 10 power keto meals, same 15 ingredients of food that can be made in 5 – 10 minutes prep time. I like bacon a lot.
Wow I never heard of these! When I get well, I’ll give this a try. Thanks Steve.
Yes please!!
Mmmm😋 they look super delicious!
I made hubby watch this!
Seein' as Jalapenos have virtually no heat in 'em I'd suggest you grind up the seeds and membrane and add that to the cheese mix. Maybe add some cayenne too.
The basic premise sounds yummy, but I’m going to riff off of it with a less spicy pepper & a mild sausage. I love flavor, but not the heat
Making these TODAY!!!!!! LOVE your recipes!
I don't have a smoker,I wonder if I can make these with an air fryer with a few drops of liquid smoke
😲
Sounds like a winner!!!!
I have no doubt of how delicious those armadillo eggs are. Very good recipe 👍
They look amazing Steve!!
Dang, making those this weekend! And I have that exact same smoker.
These look great. Can't use a smoker or grill where I live 🙁 I will try in the oven ! Thanks
Yummy! Will be making those soon 👍
