Is your garden yielding lots  of peppers right now?  These are a tasty addition to a meal and can be made using either Jalapenos or Sweet Mini Bell peppers.  My favorite is Jalapenos cause I love the heat. I use Italian Sausage that we make from hogs we butcher in the winter. For my some of my children I use small bell peppers.

Armadillo Eggs THM-S

• 14-16 Jalapenos Peppers*
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1/4 cup fried, crumbled bacon
• 2 tablespoon finely diced onions
• 1 1/3 cups shredded, cheddar cheese
• 1 pound Italian pork sausage
• 3 Wasa Crackers
• 1/3 teaspoon cumin powder

In a mixer bowl, combine cream cheese, bacon, onions, and 1/3 cup cheddar cheese together. Set aside. Make a slit in each pepper and clean out all the seeds and membranes. Using a decorating bag, fill each pepper with cream cheese mixture. Set aside. Combine pork sausage and remaining cheddar cheese. Pat around peppers in a thin layer. Blend Wasa crackers and cumin to make fine crumbs. Roll each pepper in cracker crumbs. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25 minutes. Serves 14-16.
