Ingredients
- 8 oz – Cream Cheese, softened
-
2 T – Bee Sting Hot Honey Rub
- 5 – jalapenos (large)
- 5 – Italian Sausages
- 15 Slice – Bacon (not thick cut)
-
½ C – Blue Ribbon BBQ Sauce
Directions
Preheat smoker or grill to 275 degrees.
- Mix the cream cheese and Bee Sting rub together in a bowl until well combined. Add the mixture to a pastry bag for easy filling of the jalapenos.
Cut off the top of the jalapeno. Use a paring knife to remove the seeds and core.
- Fill the jalapenos with the cream cheese mixture.
- Remove the casing from the sausages.
- Use one sausage to wrap each jalapeno. Make sure they are fully covered and sealed.
Then wrap each of the jalapenos in 3 pieces of bacon. Make sure they are fully wrapped in bacon and use a toothpick to secure if necessary.
- Season the outside of the eggs with more Bee Sting rub and then place them on the smoker.
Smoke for 60-80 minutes until the internal temperature of the armadillo eggs reaches 155-165 degrees and the bacon is cooked to your liking.
- Baste the eggs with Blue Ribbon BBQ sauce and continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes.
- Rest the eggs for 10 minutes before cutting.
- Enjoy!
