Meatless ABT ????

Basscat

Yeah, I know, but it's a good friend who has made their dietary choice for reasons that are sound to them, and they do miss BBQ from their former life. I replaced the meat inside with spicy black beans, the bacon with carrot strips, and used fat free cream cheese (and Dizzy Dust), and it seems pretty good, with room for improvement. Any experiences or ideas for a better version to capture the spirit of the original?
Thanks in advance.....

Basscat,[p]I would add minced garlic to it and substitute Dizzy Dust with Jamaican Firewalk. Thanks for the black beans & carrot strip ideas. It'll help for our veggie friends.[p]Cheers,[p]GrillMeister

Basscat,
Are you parboiling those carrot strips first? [p]Brett

The Virginian,
Microwaved them for a couple of minutes, and then a half minute or so until they were flexible. Parboiling would have done the same, I suppose....
