Eggtoberfest ABTs Recipe

GrillMeister

<p />Here's my variation of the ABT we prepared at the Eggtoberfest 2003. They went very fast.[p]
Fresh off the egg.[p]
The crowd kinda reminded of Piranas. [p]
Eggtoberfest 2003 ABTs on the half shell.[p]Ingredients:
30 Jalapeno's - fresh 2 -3 inches each
2 8 ounce pack of Cream Cheese
1 lb Bacon (may not use all)
60 Hillshire Farm’s Smokie Links
1 Jar of pre-minced garlic (fresh works great too)
1 bottle of Dizzy Pig Jamaican Firewalk rub [p]Preparation Directions:
Wash, remove stems and half jalapeno's lengthwise. Remove seeds and veins (leave veins in if you would like a hotter ABT).
Cut lengths of bacon strips just long enough to cover the jalapeno.
Fill jalapeno halfs with cream cheese.
Slather minced garlic on the cream cheese
Sprinkle liberally with Dizzy Pig’s Jamaican Firewalk rub
Press a Smokie Link onto the cheese
Top it off with a piece of bacon. Use a round toothpick to hold it all together.[p]Cooking Directions:
Get cooker at 325 to 350 degrees and toss on a couple handfuls of soaked hickory chips and smoke direct for 30 to 45 minutes on raised grid. A smoker basket or pizza screen will help in putting a whole batch on the egg at one time. No turning is necessary, but you do want to look for hot spots. [p]Special Instructions:[p]When done, let sit for a few minutes. To remove, press down on the toothpick first before picking it up. That will make sure you get all the parts. It’s best to use your right hand to pick one up to eat while your left hand holds a cold beer.
