Well, most all of the popper recipes and variations thereof that I've ever
seen have already been re-posted here except one:  Howard's Armadillo Balls.
(Howard Harris is a dear old X-Texan and Chilehead who is no longer on this
list but has given me permission to post his original recipe here again).
These work out really well and are addicting.

Jefe's Armadillo Balls

JALAPENO PEPPERS--ABOUT 3 OR 4 PER PERSON--STEMS ON

CUT SLIT IN ONE SIDE OF PEPPER AND PUT MONTERREY JACK CHEESE INSIDE.
REMOVE SEEDS AND CARTILAGE TO REDUCE HEAT IF DESIRED.

COAT EACH PEPPER WITH 1/4" OF GOOD QUALITY BULK SAUSAGE LEAVING STEM
EXPOSED.

ROLL EACH PEPPER IN SHAKE AND BAKE FOR PORK AND BAKE IN A 350 DEG. OVEN
FOR 30 MINUTES OR UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN AND ENJOY!!

(Deb's variation: try chorizo instead of regular sausage with some of them).

Also, if I remember correctly, there are some of the popper classic recipes
to be found at Judy Howle's great chilehead site:
