First Shot at ABT's Hmmmm they were ok!

Took my first shot at ABT's and they were ok. Not fabulous just ok. Think I may have took too much of the spicy inside out as there was little to no spicy taste in them. The ones I made with Chocolate chip cookie dough as the stuffing were great! The others I used cream cheese mixed with sharp cheddar, pepper, salt, garlic, and red pepper then wrapped in bacon.

Stuffing Mixed

Hollowed out jalapeños

These were the ingredients I used

Stuffed them by putting mixture in zip loc bag and cutting bottom corner off

Ready to go on the grill Did some boats and some in the stand and a couple with chocolate chip cookie batter

Finished product.

I mix some chopped pulled pork and rub into the cream cheese, try something like that or search for Kristi's Shrimp ABT's

I have done it with cream cheese, diced Jalapano and crab meat with Mexican cheese as the filling

I am a fan of your cream cheese and goat cheese mixed. Also I like a little thicker bacon and crisp it up more. Just my 2 cents.

The last ones I did I mixed cilantro with the cream cheese and thought it was good

Thick bacon, lay a shrimp in there...lose the stand.

If you are field stripping them-no seeds and no veins, then you need to juice them up with pepper jack or habaneo cheese along with the rest of the filling. Keeps you healthy!

Each batch will get better! Looks good!

I agree with Mickey the thicker bacon is better for ABTs. But you had a great cook - now the fun is to refine it. Also agree with the pulled pork a great option. I usually just keep it simple and only do cream cheese, bacon and jalapenos. less is more in my opinion. light on the rub too - the bacon gives all the flavor.

I like em charred, try it.

i mix cooked chorizo in with the cream cheese... adds a great flavor

GrannyX4 · March 2013

Good ingredients equals good flavor. Fat free cream cheese is not wonderful. Add a little rub or spice and baste with a barbecue sauce just before they are finished cooking. ;;)

I actually like the thin bacon with ABTs. You can stretch a half slice around and it sticks without toothpicks.

CSRAEgger · March 2013

I tried both thick and regular/thin bacon. Regular/thin is better IMO. Crisps up better and easier to wrap.

Skiddymarker · March 2013

I've tried all the exotic mixes for a filling but we always come back to the simple stuff.

Split peppers lengthwise, fill with cream cheese, drop a 1/2 cooked casing removed butterflied chorizo on it, wrap with room temp bacon (it will tighten as it cooks - no toothpicks needed).

Direct or indirect as you choose.
