Armadillo Balls

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl mix together the cheese and sausage until well blended. You really need to use your hands to do this well. Add the baking mix and mix well.
2. 2
   Remove about 50 slices of jalapeno pepper from the jar, shake off the liquid and set on paper towels to absorb excess liquid.
3. 3
   To form each Armadillo Ball, take a chunk of the dough mixture about the size of a whole walnut, maybe a little bigger. Pat it into a flat patty. Place a slice of jalapeno pepper in it. Fold up the edges around the pepper and seal well. Roll into a ball between your hands, pressing firmly.
4. 4
   After all the balls have been formed, pour the Shake-n-Bake into a small bowl. Roll the balls in it and place on a cookie sheet, about 1 inch apart.
5. 5
   Bake at 325 for 20 - 25 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown.
6. 6
   Drain on paper towels. These are good served hot, warm or room temperature.
