I like the idea of ABt's. I love jalapenos but I hate cream cheese.

Are their any recipes without cream cheese? Is there a good alternative that I could use?? Thanks in advance.
 
Any cheese practically. Mozz would be a good choice for the texture. Or perhaps a camembert <Sp?> or a brie as well.

How can ya not like cream cheese? ;{)
 
I'm with you on the cream cheese but some cheddar would be good
 
I don't like cream cheese either. I use Pepper Jack. I buy it in the small blocks, cut it into medium slices & stuff it in there longways. Great with sausage!!!
 
I just did some ABTs for first time today and used a grated blend of Provolone,Motzerella, and Romano. They are pretty good. I mixed the cheese with a mild Italian Sausage.
 
You can onit cheese altogether and go a diifferent route with a compound butter. Such as a casino butter. Its nice to add a bit of bread crumb in there to aid in stabilaty when they cook. Wrap some casino butter with some rock shrimp or crab meat real or fake.

1/3 c sliced fresh parsley
1 tsp hot sauce
2 tbsps fresh lemon juice
4 green onions, sliced
3/4 tsp salt
1/3 c sliced red bell pepper
1 lb unsalted butter, softened
3 tbsps white wine
2 tab frsh bread crumb
Directions
Step #1 Pulse first 5 ingredients in a food processor/blender until mixd.
Step #2 Add remaining ingredients; process until well mixed, stopping to
scrape down sides.
Step #3 add bread crumb last with final few pulses
Step #4 Cover up; put in the fridge for at least a day or freeze.
 
just use whatever you have on hand or stuff that you like.
I've used pepper jack, chipotle cheddar, corn bread mix, little smokies, mozz, ricotta, re-fried beans, salsa. It's all good.
 
I made some today with cheddar cheese spread (like for crackers) and grilled chicken. Came out pretty good.
 
Thanks for the input. I made my first set of ABTs based on your advice. I used some of the white mexican "queso" cheese. I had a leftover ribeye I had grilled a couple days ago. I cut thin slices and spiced it up a bit and added it to the ABTs. I wrapped it in bacon and crossed my fingers. They turned out great! I ate them all before I remembered to take any pictures. Thanks for the advice.
 
I love Cream Cheese but did not like Them in the ABT'S
After a bit of research, bastardizing recipes and sampling. I came up with the following 2 recipes. The first one I loved the 2nd has yet to be tried.

Richâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s Peppers
16 oz. Jimmy Dean sausage (HOT) partial cooked and seasoned
¼ cup of Favorite Rub
½ cup Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese

½ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Bacon




Richâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s Pizza Peppers
½ cup Pepperoni
1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
4 oz. Tomato Paste

¼ cup Sundried Tomatoes
¼ cup Parmesan Cheese

1 Tbl. Italian seasoning
 
Try some smoked Montery Jack, or smoked cheddar.
 
Dont forget trying LESS cream cheese. Use enough and it becomes a dominant flavor, use just a bit and it add a bit of "velveeta texture" to what ever else you have in there. Cream cheese is real stable, doesnt seperate into oil and chewy cheese. Its good just for that reason.
