Atomic Buffalo Turds (pics added)

[Daryl]

20-30 Large Jalapeño peppers
1 block cream cheese, room temperature
2 packages sliced bacon
40-60 toothpicks
Small package of Little Smokies
2 medium garlic cloves
1/8 - 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes depending on your taste

Take the peppers, cut off the stems and split them into halves (keep the halves together). Now rinse out any remaining seeds from the inside of the pepper with cold water and place them on a paper towel to dry. Remember, when coring the peppers - the amount of membrane you leave inside the pepper will determine how hot the turds are. The more membrane you leave, the hotter the turd will be.

Smash and finely chop the garlic and tomatoes and place in a mixing bowl. If your cream cheese is not room temperature, it will need to be softened (15-20 seconds in the microwave) to make it a little easier to mix. Place the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and mix the garlic, tomatoes, and cheese well. Some people like to season the cream cheese with Mrs. Dash, liquid smoke or other spices/seasonings - just don't over do it. If you want to turn your buffalo turds into "atomic" buffalo turds just add some cayenne pepper or jalapeño membrane in the mix.

Spoon the cheese mixture into the sides of the halved jalapeño and press a lil smokey or other meat of your choice into the cheese. Take the other half and put the pepper back together and secure with 2 toothpicks. I use one up high and one in the middle. Make sure your tooth pick pierces the lil smokey.

Wrap the peppers with bacon and use the toothpicks to hold the bacon in place around the pepper.

For best results, use a smoker or a charcoal grill and cook them with indirect heat (using wood chips). If you only have a gas grill, you can either use the indirect method or place them higher on the grill with the burners on low; don't forget wood chips.

Cook until bacon is crisp and make sure you hide some for yourself, they will be gone before you know it.

When I throw a BBQ and fire up the smokers, these are definitely a favorite.

You ever batter and deep fry them? If so would you smoke them first?

I like to deep fry them.

We split them without seperating and clean out the seeds. Cook some bacon and crumble it. Get the cream cheese and mix in the bacon with a cheese of your choice...we do mozerella. Make a mixture of flour and bread crumbs with a seasoning of your choice. Dip in an egg wash and dredge in flour mixture. Deep fry at 350 to desired crispiness. My neighbors go nuts when I cook these.

Sorry there are no measurements. I cook on-the-fly.

Note: It's a good idea to wear some type of gloves when prepping the peppers if you do a lot of them.

Dude, one of these days you'll try my ABT and then you can decided whether or not they need to be fried.
