Atomic Buffalo Turds

[tench]

This is an awesome recipe that is sure to make any ice fishing meal a feast!

Ingredients
12 Jalapenos (straight and fat ones are better than curved or skinny)
1 package block cream cheese
8oz shredded colby jack cheese or blend shredded cheese
1lb bacon
1 package lil' smokes
tooth picks

Prep
1) Cut jalapeno stems off, then half them and clean out the pulp and seeds.

2) Mix equal parts cream cheese and shredded cheese

3) Spoon some cheese mixture into each pepper half, not quite full

4) Place a lil' smoky in one half of pepper and cover with other half of pepper

5) Wrap the two halves together with slice of bacon, covering as much of the pepper as possible

6) Secure with two tooth pics, making sure to penetrate both pepper halves and the sausage

7) Grill or smoke at 200-250 until bacon is crisp on all sides. Make sure to flip to prevent burning.
                                      If smoking hickory is a good choice.
                                      Watch for flare-ups!

8) Enjoy!

For hotter ABT's you can mix some of the jalapeno seeds in with the cheese mixture.

Sorry if the directions are not that specific, I can clarify any questions.

these sound amazing thanks for the share

Boy, those sound good, my wifes already talking about trying em again with chorizo in them.

I'm going to try some in a few weeks with some venison sausage. If you like really hot stuff you can replace the sausage with a serrano or fresno pepper.

If you really like the hot stuff, just dont do such a good job cleaning out the pulp and seeds.....wowza.  These are very good.  Ive done them both with and without the little porky links, and they are equally good.   I would imagine that any kind of sausage would be good with them.

[er-e-is]

Like these?

[tench]

Yessir! I put the pepper halves back together though.

[Rebelss]

I make these on the grill in the summer; they're great!! I also add some chili powder and a touch of chipotle powder to the cream cheese for a mouth blast...

Next time try this trick a buddy taught me. Instead of toothpicks use pieces of uncooked spaghetti noodles. They cook while the food does and then you eat the noodles right along with the other food. Works great!

[skavenger]

I make these as well!  I sometimes switch up lil smokies for pheasant.

What temperature would you guys reccomend if a person where to cook them in the oven ?

Probably 250-300 and if they're on a pan instead of a rack make sure to flip them fairly often so they don't burn.

[wyo969]

Thats kinda what I was thinking thanks tench

We take lil-smokies and simply wrap in a small piece of croissant. You can get 5-6 wraps out of one croissant "triangle" after you divide it up. One package of smokies and one roll of croissant usually end up matching perfectly.  they have been a hit at the last few parties.

i am sure you can add cheese or bacon or really whatever you want.
