I just made Atomic Buffalo Turds for the first time - HUGE FAN!
We are no longer eating pork, so I had to adjust the recipe
Atomic Buffalo Turds:
12 fresh hot peppers - I used jalapeno
12 slices of bacon - I used turkey bacon - sliced lengthwise
24 little smokies or large shrimp – could not find turkey lil smokies so I used turkey sausage links, cut in half
8oz package cream cheese
1c Monterey jack – grated
1 shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2t paprika
1t cayenne
Sweet BBQ Rub
Sharp Cheddar Cheese - shredded
BBQ Sauce
Wash and trim the peppers - halve and scoop out seeds.
Combine in a bowl. Fill each half with the mix.
Top each boat half with a little smokey.
Wrap each boat with ˝ slice of bacon and hold together with a tooth pick.
Sprinkle with sweet rub.
Smoke for an hour at 300 degrees. Bacon will crisp.
Top with cheddar and your favorite BBQ sauce.
Next time, I will cook at a lower temp - maybe 250 because the bacon was crisp and the cheese was oozing out after 30 minutes.
I also will skip the cheddar topping part and maybe add it to the cream cheese.
I tried these without BBQ sauce and preferred them with.
