Texas Twinkies

[Bill'nCrosbyTX]

Made a

batch of Texas Twinkies. Large jalapeños stuffed with chopped brisket, cream cheese, grated pepper jack cheese, and seasoning. All wrapped in bacon.

Slice a "T" in the side of the jalapeños so you can carefully open it to remove the seeds and veins. Be sure to wear gloves and avoid picking your nose or touching any sensitive body parts.

Smoke the unstuffed peppers for 30 minutes at 250 deg. You can bake them in the oven but I had to listen to my wife coughing in the next room the last time I did that.

Stuff peppers with:

1/2 lb chopped brisket
8 Oz Cream Cheese
8 Oz grated Pepper jack Cheese
A sprinkle of pork rub

This mixture is enough for about 20 "twinkies".

Wrap each stuffed pepper with 1 1/2 slices of regular thin bacon, sprinkle generously with pork rub and smoke at 250 deg for 90 minutes, increasing temp to 300 during the last 15 min.

Slather BBQ sauce and smoke another 15-20 min.

Eat 'em!

Some good looking TTs! Never made them. But made a lot ABTs. Lately the jalapenos up here are lacking in size and freshness for some reason.

Those look great

those look and sound great Bill. Nice snack.

Would not mind a couple or three of those right now.

Nicely done! I am curious why you did the pre-bake? I’d certainly take a few down

 

[jcam222]

Yes please and yes to seconds too!

Congrats on the feature.
I've done jalapeno Twinkies, turds, poppers, and ABT many ways over the years. Of course my son loved one method, but didn't tell me until 2 years later.

Nice! Sounds amazing! I have to try these, I’ve ate a few, but haven’t made them yet. I’ll try your method, I like it!

I find it softens them up and makes them more flexible to stuff, plus I like them more cooked when they're served.

Those look great!

 

[forktender]

Those look absolutely KILL'er!!!


I love T.T's, I use Pablano peppers so I can get more meat into them, and I add diced onion, and Jap's to the cheese and meat stuffing.

Going to try that one Dan. Definitely solves the issue of not finding large jalapenos

Heck Yeah!

Inspiration

Pulled pork rather than brisket in the jalapeños. Remaining cheese mix and cream cheese. My wife really likes smoked cream cheese.
