Atomic Buffalo Turds — Clinton, Mississippi

The perfect tailgate appetizer from Mississippi’s Mark Stanton.

• 6-8 jalapeños (find the biggest ones you can from your local grocery store)
• 2 (8 oz) containers of cream cheese ( I use onion and chives)
• 1 package of “Lil Smokies” ( I prefer the all beef ones)
• 3-4 cups shredded sharp cheese
• 1 package of bacon (I prefer the thick cut)
• Your favorite BBQ rub
• Toothpicks

1. Cut the jalapeños in half and scoop the seeds and inner guts out.
2. Now, in this order, fill with cream cheese, sprinkle with rub, press some shredded cheese down, press a Lil Smokey into it then wrap with ½ a piece of bacon and stick a toothpick through to secure it all.
3. Get your kettle going and set up for an indirect cook. Try to keep the temp down if you can and slow smoke them with a chunk of applewood or whatever smoke-wood you favor for about 1.5 hours.
4. These will be piping hot when you pull them off because of the cream cheese in the middle, so let them cool for 5-10 min.
