I’ll have some of these this weekend.

Thank you.

Just some quick tips.

You may want to give your bacon a little head start with a trip through the microwave or oven. Do this before wrapping the popper. You will get crisp bacon without over cooking the rest of the popper.

Worried about the Jalapeno peppers being hot or just don’t like them? Use the little multicolored sweet peppers that they sell in a bag. Poppers made with these are really good.

Thanks for the tip. I probably would have figured it out after the fact but best to have a good first impression

Atomic Buffalo Turd Jalapeno Poppers (aka - A.B.T.)
Jalapeno pepper stuffed with cream cheese and monterey jack, topped with a smokie sausage, wrapped in bacon and smoked in the Bradley Smoker. ABTs, the ultimate tailgate party food.
Ingredients
• 10 jalapeno peppers
• 10 bacon slices , cut in half
• 10 mini sausages or smokies (or 20 if they are very small)
• 1 cup cream cheese
• 1 cup grated monterey jack
• 1 tsp chipotle or chili powder
• 2 shallots , minced
Instructions

1. Slice the jalapenos lengthwise. Using a spoon, remove the seeds and membrane. If using bell peppers, quarter them after they are seeded.
2. Mix the cream cheese, monterey jack, chipotle powder and minced shallots. Fill the hollowed out portion of the peppers with the cheese mixture.
3. Place the 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.
4. 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.

I need to add to this old recipe. You can do this with Krab (imatation Crab) instead of Crab. You can also use the small multi colored sweet peppers.

I live spitting distance for Gulf coast so fresh crab it is!!
