Title: The ABT Sammich
Post by: hikerman on September 23, 2013, 11:06:43 AM
We made up a batch of ABT's and hamburger sliders for the early football games yesterday. They were tasty! But my beloved Bears had the night game. By half-time all guests had left as Monday morning rolls around early. But not for me, I'm off today.  8)
Anyway, somehow 2 ABT's were not consumed.....how does that happen? Well I thought, as the munchies roared, what to make?
We had made a fresh loaf of French bread in the bread-maker earlier in the day.       Ahhhh, an ABT sammich! 
   Sliced off a hunk of bread, broiled it along with the two ABT's. Added cheese, melted, got color, time to eat.....again! But what do you put on an ABT sammich?  NOTHING, it was Gooood! Bears won 40-23 over the Steelers.  Great end to a fine Fall day.....

What a great idea! That looks fantastic. A good reason to "hide" a couple of ABTs at the beginning of the game...  ;)

Not to sound stupid.... I guess stupid is as stupid does.....I have never gotten a recipe for ABT's. Looking at these pictures has made me wanna try making some.Would ya'll mind sharing some? My family would probably love them and I would sure appreciate it! If I can turn a couple as good as these...I might even be in the money!

Thanks,
Dan

That's a great idea, and perfect for ABTs.  I've definitely this on my list of things to try - maybe I'll top it with a runny egg yolk for a little more richness (as if I need that  ;D)

Dan, there's a zillion ways to make ABT's. I usually use 1 pk cream cheese, sometimes cheddar, and mix in left over pulled pork, or diced rib tips, bacon diced works, spice, mix well. Clean the seeds from a pile of jalapenos, stuff the peppers with the cheese -meat concoction. Wrap each with a piece of bacon, grill until bacon is crisp and pepper soft.  hope this helps....

Hiker- appreciate the information. I am not much of a pepper fan, at least outside of dropping some in for seasoning. That is why I haven't really paid much attention to making them. But, I many people in my family who love them and this post has inspired me. I am going to take your advice and start playing with different recipes and see what I can do.
Thanks again,

Dan

An ABT Sandwich... now that was some clever thinking!  8)

Dan, ABT's (Atomic Buffalo Turds) are usually hollowed out Jalapenos, stuffed with cream cheese and mini smoked sausage, then wrapped in bacon and smoked.

Like most good recipes ideas, folks have taken this concept and run with it. Like Hikerman mentioned, you can pretty much make them any way you like. The two constant seems to be a chili pepper (usually jalapeno) wrapped in bacon, with the stuffing changing.  The bacon wrapping gives it that classic shape of, well........
a turd!  :P


If you're not a fan of the heat, those mini sweets work just as well. Lots of flavor, just no heat. We usually make a mixed batch with both types of peppers for parties & cookouts and they all disappear.

It's not the heat.....I just really don't like the taste of peppers. Don't matter what they is: Green Bell, Red Bell, Yellow Bell, Jalapeno (on a stick or not), Banana. I like to smoke mine then I will dehydrate and crush up to use in cooking. But other than that- Pass!
