This
Saturday I decided to cook ABT's on my BBQ. These are very good and extremely
popular appetizer made on the BBQ. Be aware that ABT's are extremely addictive!
ABT's
stands for Atomic Buffalo Treats or Atomic Buffalo Turds if you ever wondered
what the full name for them was. These are pretty simple to make on any BBQ.
Remember
always use Nitrile gloves when making ABT's. The reason you want to wear them
is due to the fact that jalapenos contains capsaicin which can burn sensitive
area of your skin. Washing hands sometime never gets it all off. This I why I
strongly recommend using gloves for making these!
Ingredients
Directions
1.
Cut
the jalapenos in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds and veins with a
spoon and place the Jalapenos half in a bowl of water. This will help keep the
fumes of the Jalapenos down so they won’t irritate your eyes, nose &
throat.
2.
Stir
the seasoning into the cream cheese.
3.
Now
stuff your jalapeno halves with the cream cheese mixture.
4.
You
can now put a layer of the ground up sausages or place a mini sausage on top of
the cream cheese mixture.
5.
Cut
the bacon slab down the middle, so each slice is divided in half.
6.
Now
for the fun part wrap each jalapeno with a half-slice of bacon. You can also sprinkle
with additional seasoning for more flavoring.
7.
For
cooking these ABTS a important point to remember is that the higher temp and
faster you cook them the bigger the kick you get out of them ( the more spicy
they get). But if you cook them low and slow they will be mild and the
spiciness won't be overwhelming which makes them perfect for the kids to eat!
8.
Pre-heat your BBQ to 250-275 degrees Fahrenheit for
indirect cooking. For Big Green Egg users this is with your plate setter with
legs facing up. Kamado Joe users you want your stone of the heat deflector in
the bottom position. For Propane and gas BBQ, light one burner and then place
your ABTs over the unlit side/burner of the BBQ. The Little Wombat BBQ users
you want to cook them on the Top rack of the BBQ.
I wrapped the stone with Foil to protect it from the Bacon grease.
9.
I usually like to smoke them a little while they cook
with a little apple or maple wood chunks but this is optional.
10.Cook for 1 to 1½
hours, or until the bacon is crispy to your satisfactions.
These are amazing treats to make on the BBQ. You can also stuff them
with some left over pull pork seasoned with some Dizzy Pig RedEye Express. As
you can see there's so many ways you can make these ABT's. You can also use
your homemade or favorite rubs in them.
Bonne appétit and Happy Grilling!
