Ingredients
Cajun Horseradish Sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 2 teaspoons chili sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama)
Rattlesnake Bites
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/16 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 16 ounces Monterey jack cheese block cheese, shredded
- 3 tablespoons finely diced pickled jalapeño peppers
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs
- oil for frying
Instructions
- To make the Cajun horseradish sauce, combine all the sauce ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve.
- To make the Rattlesnake Bites, first combine the flour and spices in a small bowl and stir until the mixture is uniform. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cheese and pickled jalapeños. Shape the cheese mixture into 1-inch balls, squeezing tightly to compress.
- Dip the cheese balls into the seasoned flour and shake off the excess. Place on a cookie sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat a deep fryer to 350°F.
- In a shallow bowl combine the egg and milk. Mix well. Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.
- Dip the floured cheese balls into the egg and milk mixture and then into the breadcrumbs. Place the cheese balls back onto the cookie sheet and freeze until the oil is hot.
- Fry in batches for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack and serve with Cajun horseradish sauce.
Notes
- For authentic Texas Roadhouse flavor, use American-style chili sauce like Heinz rather than Asian-style hot sauces. Always shred your own cheese rather than using pre-shredded varieties, as the anti-clumping additives in packaged shredded cheese prevent proper melting. Compressing the cheese balls firmly is crucial for preventing them from falling apart during frying. If you prefer a milder version, reduce the amount of jalapeños and cayenne or substitute with milder peppers.
