Dh makes the that way and cooks them on the grill.

I have never made them over the grill, but that is a good idea. This is definately a Texas recipe. lol

Yummys girl these are something that I'lltry it sounds good.Debora my youngest sil on dh side made the peppers on the grill one year out in Lubbock where she,her dh and daughters lives.We like them so dh started making them also.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Yummy, I have never seen a recipe like this one. Sounds really good though.

Nell, those Armadillo Eggs are addictive! I always make ton so that I have enough for breakfast the next morning! lol

[sweetnell3]

We always try to make enough for a couple of days but are lucky if they last at least one day. They never make it to breakfast.lol

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Nell, I am lucky in that my DH doesn't like anything spicy! lol More for me! Now I cam craving them, so I got the stuff to make me some! lol

[sweetnell3]

I can't eat alot of them but I still try to eat my share lol. dd isn't crazey about them but that doesn't stop her from eating a few. ds loves them, so our family goes for them.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Oh, I can eat 5-6 of them at one sitting. lol I wish it would cool off so I can make me some.

[sweetnell3]

Dh can put away about 7 of them depending on the size and how hot they are. As for me maybe 4 or 5 also depending on size and how hot they are.I lost count on how many ds can eat,but he is a growing boy lol.Dd eats maybe 2 or 3, so as you can we have to cook alot of them.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

My DS has hollow legs too, except he's stop growing. lol

They don't make a jalapeno too hot for me. lol I made myself some last night and they were sooooo good. When I make these for parties, I have to wear gloves because I usually make 2-3 pounds of the jalapenos. They never bothered my hands until the last party I made them for at school. The next day, my hands felt sunburned.

Last night I was washing my face in the shower and I forgot and rubbed my eyes! lol
