Ingredients

  • 10 jalapeno peppers
  • 10 slices bacon, cut in half
  • 10 little smokies, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 1 cup grated monterey jack
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 shallots, minced (or 2 tsp onion powder)

Instructions

  • Slice the jalapenos lengthwise. Using a spoon, remove the seeds and membrane.
  • Mix the cream cheese, monterey jack, chipotle powder and minced shallots/onion powder. Fill the hollowed out portion of the peppers with the cheese mixture.
  • Place half a smokie on top of the cream cheese. Wrap the half slice of bacon around the jalapeno. If the bacon is not staying tightly wrapped, it may be necessary to use a toothpick to hold it in place.
  • Smoke the ABTs in the smoker, set at 225F, for 2-3 hours, or until the bacon is browned

Notes

To cook on the grill: Cook on a medium heat grill until the jalapeno is tender and the bacon is browned. Keep the lid covered while cooking. To cook in the oven: Bake the ABT’s in the oven, set at 425F, for 20-30 minutes or until the bacon is browned.
