Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 medium jalapeno peppers
12 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1 ½ pounds Beef, brisket, flat half, separable lean only, trimmed to 0" fat, all grades, cooked, braised
12 slices thick-cut bacon
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or as needed
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
½ (12 ounce) bottle BBQ sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Slice the jalapenos in the shape of a "T": cut a straight vertical line from top to bottom with a cross-cut directly under the stem, making sure to cut only halfway through the jalapenos. Use a spoon to remove and discard all seeds and membranes. Place jalapenos on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and place jalapenos in a bowl of ice water to extract the rest of the seeds' oil. If you do not do this step, they will be extremely spicy. Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Remove jalapenos from the water and blot dry with a paper towel. Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese inside of each jalapeno. Place approximately 2 ounces of brisket inside each, then wrap with a slice of bacon. Sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt and a pinch of ground pepper over the top of each bacon-wrapped jalapeno, then transfer to the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush tops with BBQ sauce. Continue to bake for 5 minutes more.

FAUX TEXAS TWISTER



Faux Texas Twister image

This is a non-alcoholic fruit punch, similar to the Texas Twister lemonades sold at fairs. It isn't exact but it is very close according "The Suzzzz" from Tasty Kitchen. One more thing, listed below 8 cups of Sprite is be used. According to the Tasty Kitchen recipe, the amount should be: 8 cups, 7 tablespoons, 3/4 teaspoons, 1/3 pinches Sprite Lemon Lime Soda. You can make the adjustment, but I doubt if it would seriously make a difference. Also, remember, this is "faux". The original recipe is top secret, but it's fun trying to duplicate. Try it for your 4th of July gathering!
