Rattlesnake Bites Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In large skillet, cook beef and chilies over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add ream cheese, cumin and chili powder. Cool slightly.
• 2. Preheat over to 375. Separate crescent dough into 24 triangles. Place 1 tablespoon of beef mixture along the short end of each triangle.; carefully roll up.
• 3. Place point side down 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 11-14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, mix cheese, jalapenos, bell peppers and 1/2 cup buttermilk (or milk). Roll the batter into firm "golf ball-sized" balls. Place balls in covered bowl and let them set for 30 to 45 minutes in the freezer. Take the balls out of the freezer and dip in buttermilk, then roll around in breadcrumbs. You can do this in advance and place them in the freezer until you are ready to fry them. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown. Serve immediately with ranch dressing or Cajun horseradish sauce.

Steps:

• Wash jalapeno and sliced them lengthwise.
• Remove the seeds from each half.
• In a small bowl, mix together the Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese, and the bacon bits.
• Fill each jalapeno half with about four or five teaspoons of the Monterey Jack cheese and cream cheese mixture.
• Mix flour, egg, milk, salt, and pepper to taste in a deep plate (for example, a pie plate).
• Place breadcrumbs in another deep plate.
• Roll each jalapeno half in egg mixture to coat.
• Roll the coated jalapeno in breadcrumbs until covered.
• Place the Rattlesnake Bites in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This will firm up the filling, making it easier to fry the bites.
• Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.
