| Crunchy Armadillo Eggs |
| 1/2 lb. Cheddar cheese, grated |
| 1/2 lb. Monterey Jack cheese, grated |
| 1 pound pork sausage |
| 2 cups Bisquick® |
| 1 jar (10 oz) jalapeno pepper slices |
| 2 cups coarsely crushed FRITOS® brand
FLAMIN' HOT® Flavor Corn Chips |
|
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl
combine cheese and sausage with clean hands until well mixed. Add
Bisquick® and mix until thoroughly combined. Form each Armadillo Ball from 1 heaping tablespoon
dough mixture and flatten in a patty. Place a slice of jalapeno
pepper in the center of the patty. Form the edges around the
pepper and seal well. Roll into a firmly packed ball using clean
hands. After all balls have been formed, pour crushed
FRITOS® into a small bowl. Roll the balls in the FRITOS® until dough
is completely covered. Place 1-inch apart on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 20 - 25 minutes until sausage is no
longer pink and dough is thoroughly cooked and golden brown. Makes about
50.
To Make Ahead: Freeze before baking by placing FRITOS®
covered balls on a cookie sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and
freeze. Place balls into freezer bags for storage. If baking
frozen add 5-8 minutes more to the cooking time. |

around the length of each bread stick. In a small bowl, combine brown

Stuffed Pepperoncini |
| 40 pepperoncini |
| 1 cup herb or garlic flavor Rondele' soft
cheese |
| 1/2 cup finely diced hard salami |
|
Cut the top portion with the stem off the pepperoncini
and gently scoop out the seeds with a clean finger. Be careful not to
split the pepperoncini. In a small bowl mix together the Rondele and
salami until thoroughly combined. Snip a little bit of the corner
off a heavy weight plastic storage bag. Spoon the cheese mixture
into the bag and twist the top until the mixture is packed in and begins
to come out of the cut corner. Pipe the cheese into each
pepperoncini filling it to the top. Chill until ready to serve. Makes 40
pieces. |
