The Woman of My Dreams had never had ABT's. She did give me the hairy eyeball when I told what ABT stands for but I figured she had to try them. However, I was also going to experiment with an idea I've had of putting some pepper jelly in the jalapeno before the cheese mixture.
I picked up four jalapenos. Unfortunately, they were large. I prefer my ABT's on the small side.
I cut them in half and spooned some pepper jelly in each half. I mixed 125 grams (4.5 ounces) of cream cheese, 80 grams (3 ounces) grated cheddar, 50 ml (1/4 cup) chopped green onion, and 7 ml (1 1/2 teaspoon) Worcestershire. I divided this out amongst the pepper halves.
I wrapped them with some of my homemade bacon. They went into my Traeger for 2 1/2 hours at 95 C (230 F).
The finished product.
The Verdict:
These were delicious. The jelly added just a touch of sweet. It will be in future ABT's. However, this is the first time I've used my home made thick cut bacon on ABT's. The bacon tastes better but regular cut would have had a better texture. I will thin cut some bacon for ABT's in my next batch.
