ABT dip

Posts: 7,787
have been playing with this in my head at night when I can't sleep... we love ABT's but the time to make them and the time to cook them and for a crowd :(
so today I chopped up some of our homemade bacon and cooked it almost done and set aside. seeded and sliced and chopped about 8 peppers to bite size chunks and put in the hot bacon fat to just coat and get a tiny bit tender. drained out about 95% of the fat and then warmed 1 cup cream cheese in a bowl with about 1Tb of ragin' river and mixed well. spooned this over the pepper chunks and them topped with the bacon. sprinkled with coarse dizzy pig and heated in the egg till bubbly. served with plane crackers. this was gone fast! it was great and will be how we do it in the future. easy and no wheres near the work and serves many more than the 8 peppers would have.
roasted grape tomatoes served with hot fresh bread
main coarse was chicken breast with a pocket cut in and filled with fresh Mozzarella and fresh basil leaf and sun dried tomatoes.
but the ABT dip was the best!

That's a brilliant idea to serve a lot of people! Mind if I steal it? :laugh:

That dip sounds good Julie, I might have to play around with some different ingredients. Might even try it stuffed in a burger :huh:

go for it! that is why we post and share
I used a small cast pan, next time it will be a large one! and by cooking the peppers in the fat it keeps the bacon flavor there and it takes a little of the heat out. the flavor was great. they were roasted nicely on the bottom of the pan and you just cook till the cheese is bubbly so it can be prepped ahead of time and just tossed in the egg to warm up. tasted just like an ABT! and a lot tried it that would not have taken a pepper but took a little scoop. and then came back again and again LOL 8 peppers served 13 people quite a few servings. -
Great minds think alike Julie. I've done that on a smaller version. Great looking meal!!Molly

Also solves the problem of reheating leftovers. :ohmy: Well when there are only two of you there are sometimes leftovers of these.

Great cook, really like the stuffed chicken breasts.The ABT dip is a good idea and great way to stretch a few peppers. Sometimes when serving "traditional" ATBs, we have had folks who have never had one, take one bite and not finish it. Your idea allows much smaller serving size and folks can eat one or many - fantastic idea....Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!
