ABT question...

edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
Being a new egger, I have only cooked 4 times on the egg and I am wanting to cook some ABT's on a trail run before the Super Bowl. This weekend I cooked several pork loins and have some left over. Would this be suitable for use in ABT's if I chop the pork tenderloin up? How about Canadian Bacon as a meat filler for the ABT's?

    Smoking Jacket,[p]I've only cooked ABT's 7 or 8 times. However, I have used both pork roast and canadian bacon. Also, brisket, shrimp, crawfish, pepperoni.

    Smoking Jacket,
    Personally, I like the original Jalapenos, Little Smokies, cream cheese and bacon recipe, but there have been some really tempting creations from other Eggheads. Among them, shrimp, pulled pork, cheese, deer meat and even bacon. I say experiment with what you like and see how they go with your group. Next time you can make more or less of each flavor.[p]Just remember, a good ABT starts with a good jalapeno.[p]Good ABT'ing to you.[p]Spring "Now I Want An ABT" Chicken

    Smoking Jacket,[p]I agree that modifications to the stuffings are all good, but I agree with Spring Chicken about the original. My only precaution is that you make more than you think you need. Every time I've made them, they've disappeared quickly.[p]Set aside sufficient time when you prepare them. If you want them to be on the milder side, you'll need to carefully remove seeds and veins, and that can take awhile.[p]Happy Egging[p]Roudy

    Smoking Jacket,
    I forgot to mention a couple of tricks I learned along the way.[p]First, if you freeze the Little Smokies they will keep the cream cheese from melting so quickly. The only thing that actually needs cooking is the bacon anyway.[p]Second, if you use multiple toothpicks, you can slice the ABT between the toothpicks for easier to serve/control bite-size pieces. It will make them much easier to eat and probably save you from having to clean up hot cream cheese off your floor.[p]Spring "Seasoned ABT Eater-Upper" Chicken
