ABT w/no bacon wrap?

[Chris in Cameron Park]

Does anyone make ABT's with no bacon wrap? Maybe chorizo, ppork, or some other meat mixed with the cheese on the inside?
Looking at making A LOT of these, and really dont want to deal with the prep and cook of the bacon wrap.

An ABT with no bacon is not an ABT IMHO. Whats a whirl around the chile with a slice of bacon???? It adds so much flavor if you get it nice and crispy.

Maybe I did it wrong

but i used raw bacon when I made them, (only once) but found that the bacon was cooked when I took them off a few hours later.

Yea...it crisps as you cook it....

I like to do high heat indirect ABT's on the kettle....

Alright, we wont skip the bacon (bacon makes everything better).

Whats a good simple ABT? Jalep, cream cheese, bacon?

I don't use an entire slice of bacon (as much as I love it!)
I use only a piece as long as the jalap, stuck on top.
It always crisps, unlike the entire slice.

So, Charles you are able to just lay the small bacon slice on the jalap and its grilled indirect, so you dont have to flip or touch till they're done?

 

[Charles Howse]

I usually smoke them, but yes, it just sits on top like a......cap?

Awesome. I will be trying this....tomorrow!

I make mine like little boats with a strip of bacon laying flat.
Try adding a little honey and rub to the cream cheese.

At Christmas we made some and added a little shredded sharp cheddar to the cream cheese. I also had a little sweet Italian sausage left in the fridge ( it had been cooked) and added it to some of the ABTs.
I use a 1/2 strip of bacon that I spiral wrap around the pepper.

Ended up trying a few different peppers and delivery methods.

The filling is cream cheese, chorizo, cheddar and rub. Did them on the kettle @ 350*.
Most of them are jalepeno boats with a small bacon laying on top. Cored out the seeds and stuffing, then wrapping one of the jaleps. Made 2 Habenero boats and one stuffed Anaheim wrapped.

The jalep boats were the best. The bacon stayed on ok and tasted real good.
A lot of the filling fell out of the stuffed peppers.
The Anaheim was ok, but not enough heat for me. The Habeneros were spectacular. 10/10 on my heat index. Tasted great and fiery! Sent me running for milk.

I read somewhere on here that someone ate 20 ABT's at a football game. Pretty sure i would be kneeling at the throne!
I really enjoyed these. Thanks for the advise, guys.
