  • 12 slices bacon
  • Barbecue sauce (optional to glaze)

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Jalapenos:

  2. Make the Filling:
    • In a bowl, mix the brisket shreds, softened cream cheese, and the cheddar cheese that you have shredded. Mix until well mixed.
  3. Stuff the Jalapenos:
    • Fill each half of a jalapeno with the brisket and cheese mix. Make sure you seal the filling well.
  4. Wrapped in Bacon:
    • Slice a piece of bacon and wrap it in each jalapeno half. Attach with toothpicks if you need to.
  5. Smoke or Bake:
    • Smoking Smokers: Heat your smoker to 250 degrees F. Place the jalapenos wrapped on the grill and cook for around 2 hours or until bacon is crisp.
    • Baking: Heat your oven to 375 degrees F. Place the jalapenos wrapped in bacon on baking sheets lined with parchment. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bacon is crisp.
  6. Optional Glazing:
    • In the final 10-minutes of the cooking you can drizzle the jalapenos in barbecue sauce for an extra dose of flavor.
  7. Serve:
    • The Texas Twinkies should thaw slightly before serving. Serve them warm for snacks or appetizers!
