Pulled Pork Smoked Atomic Buffalo Turd Jalapeno Poppers ABT

Leftover pulled pork – what a wonderful thing! Every year we have a big BBQ on Canada Day and I always make sure there is plenty of meat. This year I smoked 3 Boston butts, along with many other meats. I knew that there would be plenty of pulled pork left over, but I had no problem with that, as it would be enjoyed throughout the rest of the week. I love pulled pork straight, but it is also awesome to use as an ingredient in many other dishes.

Here are a few of my recipes with pulled pork:

Pulled Pork Pizza

Pulled Pork Hash

Pulled Pork Parfait

Today’s recipe might just be my favorite. That is not a surprise for me because I love atomic buffalo turds and jalapeno poppers. If you have never heard of ABTs, then you are in for a treat. These are jalapeno poppers, wrapped in bacon and smoked in a smoker. What a beautiful thing!

Use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds and the membrane to make little jalapeno boats. The majority of the heat is in the seeds and the membrane, so if you want the ABTs to have some extra kick, leave some of the membrane in the pepper. Spread some cream cheese in the jalapeno pepper and top with some pulled pork. I am drooling already!

Wrap the jalapeno pepper with half of a bacon slice. Try and get two wraps around the pepper.

You could make these up to a day ahead and keep them in the fridge, ready to go.

Set the smoker for around 225-230F and smoke for around 2-3 hours. You can tell they are done when the bacon is browned and starting to render and crisp.

    I love these. Protip: if you don’t want to cook pulled pork to make these, you can grab a side of it from Qdoba for like $3

  • I’m thinking Kev and I need to welcome Bradley into our lives just so I can make ABTs. Loved inhaling them on Canada Day!

  • Nope, no cream cheese, use a chunk of 5 to 7 year old cheddar. I have a MES 30 inch, some ribs racks, a Weber one touch 22.5 Charcoal grill and Gas Grill I also have Backyard Grill Jalapeno Cooker and corer and have made the same, using cheddar cheese. Although I have never put pulled pork into them. I will have to try this and see what the neighbors think.

  • First, great recipe. I’m going to try it tomorrow.

    Second, do you happen to know what model smoker that is? I like the digital readouts. Much more sophisticated than mine.

    thanks
