These are the best, Red. Scott is right about doubling up, the filling works great as a dip with veggies or a spread on crackers.

Come to ATL and I'll hook you up! You can leave the Black & Milds and MGD 64 at home...

I only made a dozen ABT's this time, thats what I meant by doubling up. But you are right, the dip was excellent on tortilla chips

Here's some ABT's on one of the racks I have....along with some "fatties"....

Mmmmm.....now I know what I'll be doing this weekend

Oh geez. Yeah I washed frequently while prepping the peppers.

TripleF · 09-29-2009, 07:57 AM

Man, does this look good.

captain53 · 09-29-2009, 02:53 PM

Made some up and took them to a party recently, party host called the next day to request the recipe. They were great, thanks again for sharing!

Scothew · 09-29-2009, 03:42 PM

i made these a 2nd time in my electric smoker. First ones turned out perfect. 2nd ones not quite as good mainly because all i had was some deer hamburger meat, so not as fatty as the sausage and i also didnt have any hickory to throw in the smoker on the coil.

I think the hickory the first time brought some extra heat and smokey flavor that set them off perfect. I smoked the 2nd batch for 2 hours like the same and i think they could have used another 30min or so.

Holy sweet Jesus, those look amazing!

Great pics Timmy!Makes me hungry for some of those tasty treats.

itsme_timd · 10-04-2009, 12:53 PM

Glad to see folks are loving these, they really do rock!

The cool thing is, like galaga said, you don't have to stick to a solid recipe. Add your own personal touches at there's still a 99% chance they're going to be awesome.

Could these be done in an oven, or do you need a smoker?

I tried it in a time crunch and they were marginal at best but they edible.

They are some kind of good smoked or grilled though.

Here's the trick to doing these in the oven. They come out pretty good but not 'quite' as good as on the grill. I've done ribs and brisket this way as well.

Preheat the oven to 250F.
Arrange the ABT's on rack that you can set over a pan of water.
Add some liquid smoke to the pan of water.
-- You can also add onions, apples, fruit juice
Put 'em in there for about 1 1/2 hours - 2 hours.

That's it! It works pretty well if a grill or smoker is not available.

Just skimming threads and saw this thread. I've made these time and time again at our tailgate and are always a huge hit, however, I always run into the same problem, the mixture I fill them with (cream cheese, shredded cheese, pulled pork) always ends up melting all over the place before the bacon can finish cooking. I usually can get the heat side down cooked, but the top part of the bacon (also where the filling is) is undercooked, and flipping them causes a huge mess. By the time they come off the grill, they're a sloppy and uneatable without a fork. How can I get the bacon to cook evenly while keeping the filling inside each piece?

Easy fix (hopefully) for this...

Cook them on lower temp (250) with indirect heat rather than 'grilling' them. When I do them I light 2 burners on my grill and put the ABT's on the opposite side - with a pan of soaked mesquite over the flame. Get the temp to about 250 and they should cook nice and slow and get the bacon done without oozing out and without the need to flip them. HTH.
