Texas Twinkies
MMMMMM....Chef Tom's smoked cream cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped Texas Twinkies
Ingredients
- 12 large jalapeños
- 1 cup leftover Texas brisket, chopped
- 8 oz smoked cream cheese
- 2 tbsp Firebug Mild Grillin’ Sauce
- 24 slices classic cut bacon (not thick)
- Plowboys BBQ Bovine Bold
- Firebug Mild Grillin’ Sauce, for brushing
Instructions
Preheat your Pellet Grill to 300ºF, set up for smoking.
Using a paring knife, slice a slit lengthwise in each of the jalapeños from step to tip.
Place your jalapeños on the second shelf of the smoker for 20-30 minutes to soften.
While the jalapeños are softening, combine the chopped brisket, smoked cream cheese and two tablespoons Firebug Mild Grillin’ Sauce in a bowl and mix well. Transfer to the fridge to chill.
When the jalapeños are softened and cool enough to handle, clean out seeds/pith/veins from the jalapeños. I find a vegetable peeler to be the best tool for this job.
Stuff the brisket/cream cheese mixture into jalapeños through the openings you sliced. Fill the jalapeños full of the filling. Don’t overfill.
Wrap each jalapeño in two pieces of bacon, to cover and encase the entire pepper.
Season the outside of surface of the Texas Twinkie with Plowboys BBQ Bovine Bold.
