Atomic Buffalo Turds (abt's)

First post....

Ok heres a simple easy recipe for making one heck of an appetizer.

Take a bunch of Jalapeno peppers and cut the tops off, core the seeds out with a orange peeler tool or small knife, rinse and set aside.

Mix up a batch of filling.... the filling can be whatever you want, but I like regular ol breakfast sausage with a little cheese on top, feel free to experiment!

stuff the peppers, then top with half a slice of bacon secured with a toothpick.

cook them on a smoker at 225-250 or so for a couple of hours till the bacon is cooked and the jalapenos darken and wrinkle up.

if you dont have access to a smoker, you can do them on the grill just as easy, just dont cook them directly over the fire, use indirect heat only, and turn often, use foil if it starts to burn.

They sound nasty, but they are indeed tasty, and not too hot either. You can even experiment with other types of peppers, so far Ive done Anaheim bananna type and those were also great! havent tried stuffing a green bell pepper but I imagine it would be very tasty too.

I usually make up a big batch of these while smoking a few racks of ribs or brisket, nothing like a little snack to tide me over!!

I use large Jalapenos. I fill mine with cream cheese and wrap each one with a whole slice of bacon. I like to pepper the bacon before wrapping. I bake at 350 deg approx 45 min. then finish off by broiling a couple of minutes until the bacon is as crispy as you want it. I never tried adding sausage. I'll have to add that on my next batch.

Don,

yes the cream cheese is always good too, really you gotta try em smoked or even on the grill.

when trying the sausage, wont hurt to fry it up first then drain and mix with cheese. if you stuff them with raw sausage it tends to be too greasy, at least for me anyways.

I am a big fan of smoking stuff, a few years back I got a Oklahoma Joe rig and I love it, Ive learned to make some fall off the bone spare ribs, pulled pork, brisket, etc...its all good!

I made a batch three nights ago with stuffing of one lb cooked and drained sausage mixed with one pkg cream cheese. I just polished off several a few minutes ago. They were reaaly good.

Don,

Some left over smoked Boston Butt works well also.

Gotta tell you.

Had a church picnic a few weeks ago.

Have a group of about 5 guys who always help man the grill with me...great guys!!

Made up a bunch of these (1st time) to treat them while we cooked burgers for the church.

Some of them were a little skittish to eat them when I told them what they were.

Until they tried them....

Now they ask if I'm going to bring them.

Wonderful!!!

Plan to eat a bunch of them come football tailgate season.

M-I-Z......Z-O-U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Made a few a couple weeks ago and it seems that this years crop of Jalapenos are a little milder due to all the rain. Even the ones that dont like the heat can enjoy them too!
