Armadillo Eggs-1

Decide how many Jalapenos you will need at four or five per person and make extra they freeze well.
Cut a slice down the side of each pepper and spoon out the seeds and membrane if you want to reduce the heat level I don’t. Put all the Monterey jack cheese you can get inside the pepper and roll it with about a quarter inch covering of your favorite kind of sausage. Roll it in Shake and Bake for pork to cover. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Use only jalapenos with stems.
