Introduction

Atomic Buffalo Turds have been all over BBQ circles for years and many people seem to have their own variation on these bite size treats. ABTs are similar to jalapeno poppers, but these ABTs kick basic jalapeno poppers into the ground. They are seriously that good.

Ingredients

    10 jalapeno peppers
    10 bacon slices, cut in half
    10 mini sausages or smokies (or 20 if they are very small)
    1 cup cream cheese
    1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, colby, etc.)
    1 tsp chipotle or chili powder
    2 shallots, minced
    1 tsp liquid smoke (if baking)

Tips

To cook on the grill: Cook on a medium heat grill until the jalapeno is tender and the bacon is browned. Keep the lid covered while cooking. To cook in the oven: Bake the ABT's in the oven, set at 425F, for 20-30 minutes or until the bacon is browned.


Directions

1. Slice the jalapenos lengthwise. Using a spoon, remove the seeds and membrane. If using bell peppers, quarter them after they are seeded.
2. Mix the cream cheese, grated cheese, chipotle powder and minced shallots as well as the liquid smoke if you are baking rather than smoking.
3. Fill the hollowed out portion of the peppers with the cheese mixture.
4. Place the smokie on top of the cream cheese. Wrap the half slice of bacon around the jalapeno. If the bacon is not staying tightly wrapped, it may be necessary to use a toothpick to hold it in place.
5. Smoke the ABTs in the smoker, set at 225F, for 2-3 hours, or until the bacon is browned
