Do Left Over ATB's Keep Well

[BuckeyeSteve]

I want to try smoking some ATB's and I'm trying to figure out how many to do. Do they keep well in the refrigerator? Does the bacon get soggy? How long can I safely keep them?
I'll probably reheat them in the convection oven.

I eat 'em cold out of the fridge all the time. The best thing to do is try it and see what you think.

no B is for Buffalo. Atomic Buffalo Turd, but ya bacon is in there somewhere

If only I knew what an ABT was. I'll guess that B is bacon.

I pretty much gave up acronym speech after I got out of the military. You almost had to carry a code book around just to understand casual conversation.

Atomic Buffalo Turds. Stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon and smoked, or grilled. I normally stuff mine with cream cheese, but you can use whatever you want. Yummy treat.

bacon wrapped {Stuffed} Jalapenos and no I don't think they keep well, best right outta the smoker

 

[chilerelleno]

They do keep well in the fridge for a few days.
Yes the bacon gets a bit soft, but nothing a few minutes in a 400° oven/broiler won't fix, bet the toaster oven works great too.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll make a double batch and see how they reheat.

Cold actually sounds pretty good. Just not sure how the bacon would hold out. Maybe I'll do some with hot sausage and no bacon.

my Jalapeno and habanero ABT's reheated well and still were very good, so make plenty extras for left overs.

You read my mind. I like hot and I was planing to put minced habanero's in my cream cheese

They are awesome hot off the pit or cold the next day or heated in the toaster oven. I make triple batches because I cant keep them for very long they go so fast. Everybody loves them. Try them with some pulled pork stuffing ...wow!

I have done that but also I just stuffed the habanero on their own and it is great.

ABTs can be actually basically reheated by pan frying. I've done this method...lower heat setting and a blow torch. Let them basically warm through, nail it with the blow torch to make sure it stays crisp.

Heck I've even microwaved them. I found it depends on the cheese mix for how you reheat/if you'd want to. Some mixes turn to watery messes when reheated, some don't!

<Minced garlic ones for me turned a bit watery when reheated, as a heads up!! As always I say throw in cranberries into that ABT blend!>

I like the sound of Hot sausage on the inside and wrapped with bacon on the outside. I think I will try that with my next stuffed poblanos.

Haha, I just noticed I called them ATB's instead of ABT's. Funny how the mind works. Did anyone else not catch that and read it as ABT's?

I would say its how the mind work because...well my mind doesn't work...

Well I didn't catch it at all. Heck I just had to reread a few times to catch it despite you saying it!
