Texas Twinkies - wow are these good

This weekend we decided to make Texas Twinkies with some of our brisket meat. These are fabulous. The only difference from the attached recipe is that we cut back slightly on the cream cheese and substituted some grated cheddar cheese.

We also decided to make some with our pulled pork with the same great results.

Two make a full meal per person.

    I had a couple of these a couple of days ago at a BBQ fundraiser.  They were outstanding.  The brisket had been cooked by a award-winning competition team and saved after one of their competitions.

    I have to admit that after 2 of them I thought "I'm pretty full" - until the competition guys brought up a whole pig and some ribs they had spent all day cooking...

    Reads like you could just lope off the stem and core them out to get to the same place.  The effort would be loading them up but I do jalas that way all the time for armadillo eggs.  Maybe I'm missing something.

    Seems like it would be hard to get a nice layered effect by stuffing it in from the top. But agree, would be easier.

    I got a second on Johnny Manzeil turds, really anything with turd on the end would work for me ... the internet has ruined me as a person.

    If it has Manzeil's name in the title it should contain alcohol and fall apart on the grill just before you serve it.

    For the record, when I ate them last weekend they didn't have a catchy name.  It was more like "We had some leftover competition brisket that we chopped and stuffed in some big jalapenos and wrapped with bacon..."

    And @Photo Egg you are both hilarious and correct.

    My mind is telling me no...

    But my search engine is saying, "well, we've made it this far together"

    Edit. Yep. Didn't want to know. Didn't need to know. And yet, I know. 

    @Photo Egg the next time I make "bourbon baked beans" they will officially be renamed.

    When I was younger I had to write a check to my roommate every month for rent. Everytime I'd write a check to my roommate I'd put something funny in the memo. He didn't think much of it when I wrote, "For the hot Carl". So my roommate hands the check over to the teller at the bank and the teller says, "For the hot Carl? What's a hot Carl?" The guy right behind my roommate in line says, "Dude that's gross!" My friend was mortified. He couldn't leave fast enough. Good times!
