Texas Twinkies
The Texas Twinkie jacks up the usual cream cheese-filled happy hour fave with fatty marbled brisket and an unctuous armor of crispy, thick-cut bacon. Then this mutant morsel is triumphantly painted with a homemade BBQ glaze. The best part? You don’t even need a deep fryer. Just a crazy urge to make extra fatty jalapeno poppers at home, because that's your idea of fun. Now let's get poppin'.
Ingredients to make 12 Texas Twinkies:
• 12 whole jalapenos
• 1.5 pounds of marbled brisket
• 12 tablespoons of Philadelphia Cream Cheese
• 12 thick-cut strips of bacon • 2 tablespoons of Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons of coarse ground pepper
• 6 oz. of BBQ Sweet Glaze
Instructions:
• Slice one side of jalapeno from stem to tip
• Slice across stem end to make a "T"
• Pit inside of jalapeno free of seeds and membranes
• Place jalapenos on baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes •
Remove jalapenos and place in bowl of ice water to extract additional seed oil (otherwise they will be extremely spicy)
• Cover bottom of inside of each jalapeno with a tablespoon of Philadelphia Cream Cheese
• On top of the cheese, pile two ounces of marbled brisket
• Close the pepper around the stuffing and wrap with thick-cut bacon
• Add pinch of Kosher salt and coarse ground pepper
• For oven preparation (you can also grill them) place poppers on baking sheet at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes
• Remove peppers and paint with homemade BBQ Sweet Glaze
BBQ Sweet Glaze Ingredients:
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup mustard
Instructions: Bring glaze to a full boil, then simmer for five minutes. Let sit for an hour. Paint poppers, serve with cold beer, and devour.
