ABT Newbie

Well, here we go! I stuffed them with Italian sausage, chorizo, scallions, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, cream & goats cheese. I'll keep you posted!

Well.... If you're going to do something, I guess you might as well do it big. Way to go Kristi. I like to stuff mine ABT's with wild game organ meat. Like cut up heart and liver from a deer or hog.

And us pedestrians are happy with whatever we can find in the fridge-but no matter, they always taste great.  Go large or go home!  (I'm headed home:))

With a blend like that, how can it go wrong?  Looks great N.I.

@travisstrick, that sounds like a great idea, I'm adding that to the list when the season opens up. 

I haven't found anything yet that hasn't been good in a jalapeno wrapped with bacon.  lol

anez

do you guys brown the meat before putting it in the abt? dumb question?

NecessaryIndulg

There aren't any dumb questions... I browned the sausage and then mixed it in with the softened cheese mixture:

Alton

Yes! Looks great.

@Alton -- I don't have a pic.  Since this was my first time making them, we couldn't wait to try them.  I know, bad food blogger moment. 
I cooked these direct with a raised grid but I do them indirect now.

They look great Kristi...try ABT dip...it is easier and you can do many variations...

@necessaryindulg I tried your ABT'S and they tasted awesom. But they fell apart on the grill. I foun them sticking and tearing apart. What did I do wrong???

NecessaryIndulg

I'm not sure, but that stinks. :(   Did you use bacon & secure with a toothpick?  It shouldn't have stuck if it was seared/crisp?  Weird ... do you have any pictures?

I would have liked to have seen the finished pics but hey look good enough to eat raw. Thanks for sharing.
