Taste the bold flavours of the Lone Star State with Texas Twinkies, where jalapeños stuffed with creamy cheese and brisket meet the smoky goodness of bacon. A BBQ glaze adds the perfect touch of sweetness, making these bites a sure-fire hit for any Texas celebration or spicy snack lover.
Ingredients:
- 12 medium jalapeño peppers
- 12 tablespoons softened cream cheese
- 1 ½ pounds cooked chopped brisket
- 12 slices thick-cut bacon
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ½ (12 ounce) bottle BBQ sauce
Method of preparation:
Preheat your grill or oven to 135°C (275°F).
Slice the jalapeños lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
Season the inside of each jalapeño with salt and pepper.
Fill each jalapeño half with about 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese.
Top the cream cheese with a generous amount of chopped brisket.
Wrap a slice of bacon around each stuffed jalapeño. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Place the wrapped jalapeños on the barbecue or in the oven.
Cook for about 1 to 1 ½ hours or until the bacon is crisp.
Brush the jalapeños with BBQ sauce during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
Remove the Texas Twinkies from the barbecue or oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
