Got kinda of a crazy day tommorrow, whatchin hoops, doing sliders, making lots of different salsas,(trial runs for a fest.) and I thought abts would go hand in hand. We've never done them before, so any input is great. Thanks, Brett B)

    Let me introduce you to the way I do them. I've done these at various fests for years and always get rave reviews. Despite what you'll hear from various members of this group, I can cook more than six at a time!! :woohoo: :woohoo: Keep it simple and you'll be amazed at the results :

    Atomic Buffalo Turds
    by John Hall (egret)

    Ingredients:

    12 Jalapeno's - fresh, 2 -3 inches each
    1 8 ounce pack of Cream Cheese
    1 lb. Bacon (may not use all)
    1 pack Smoked Cocktail Wieners
    Dizzy Pig Red Eye Express rub

    Preparation Directions:

    Wash, remove stems and half jalapeno's lengthwise. Only cut the stem off, don't cut the end of jalapeno off to remove the stem. Remove seeds and veins (leave veins in if you would like a hotter ABT).
    Fill jalapeno halves with cream cheese, top with a cocktail wiener and sprinkle with some Dizzy rub. Put the two halves together and wrap the whole thing with a piece of bacon. Secure the loose end of the bacon with a toothpick.
    Sprinkle a liberal amout of Dizzy rub all over the surface of the bacon. Place ABT's on a rack over a drip pan.

    Cooking Directions:

    Stabilize BGE at 350 degrees. Place drip pan and rack of ABT's on a raised grid and cook for about 40 minutes. Turn them over to crisp up bottom side of bacon and cook for an additional 20 minutes.

    Optional : add apple, oak or hickory chunks to fire before placing ABT's in the egg.

    I love using 26-31 count peeled and deviene (sp) shrimp instead of little smokies. John Henrys maple rub before wrapping in bacon. Works for me.

    Did my 1st batch last weekend using egret's method with a little twist. On top of the cream cheese I put just a small drop of minced garlic, and used Everglades Rub. My guests ate all 24 within 15 minutes!

    A bit of advice: use eye goggles when cleaning the peppers...I got an eye full of juice :( Took over an hour to get my sight back, ohhhhhhhh boy did it burn :ohmy:

    If I am serving several other appetizers, I like to do the half shell filled with cream cheese and wrapped with 1/2 slice of bacon. Great for a two bite treat! The BEST ones I ever ate used dove breasts instead of bacon. What a delicacy!
