Smoked Texas Twinkies with Bacon And Brisket
Discover the delightful taste of Smoked Texas Twinkies, a perfect blend of spicy jalapenos stuffed with creamy cheese and savory brisket, all wrapped in crispy bacon.
Ingredients
- 8 Jalapenos Sliced and De-seeded
- 8 Slices Thick-cut Bacon
- 12 Tablespoons Cream Cheese Room Temperature
- 2 Cups Smoked Brisket Chopped or Shredded
Instructions
- Begin by using a sharp paring knife to slice a line down the back of each jalapeno. Carefully remove the seeds, then rinse the jalapenos under water to ensure they're clean.
- With the help of a knife, stuff each jalapeno generously with cream cheese, ensuring it's filled halfway.
- Once the jalapenos are fully packed with cream cheese, they are ready for the next step.
- Add shredded or chopped brisket into the cream cheese-filled jalapenos, pressing it gently to keep everything in place.
- Lay a slice of thick-cut bacon flat, wrap it securely around each stuffed jalapeno, and fasten the bacon with toothpicks at both ends.
- Arrange the bacon-wrapped jalapenos on a baking sheet, preferably on a wire rack, and bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F until the bacon is crispy, which should take about 20-30 minutes.
- Once baked, the crispy Texas Twinkies, will have a golden appearance.
- Finally, your smoked Texas Twinkies are ready to be served!
Notes
Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing and smooth filling.
Secure with Toothpicks: Use toothpicks to keep the bacon wrapped tightly around the jalapenos during cooking.
Indirect Heat for Grilling: Cook over indirect heat to prevent the bacon from burning while the jalapenos and filling cook through.
