Not sure if this is really Q-View but here we go...
First, I must say this was done on the cheap--a new PriceRite recently opened here. And what I didn't get there, I got at Aldi's!
I sliced my jals lengthwise, this gives me 2x as much to prepare & wrap but 2x as much to eat! Remove all rib membranes & seeds and then cover with water & microwave for 4 minutes. Empty water when cool. Replace water. Refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.
Assembly: Add cream cheese. Some of them I added dried garlic flakes I made from last year's heirloom garlic harvest.
Then slice grilling cheese. I found this at a PriceRite that just opened in our area--never knew such a thing existed--you can throw it on a hot grill and grill it and eat it just like that! Add the grilling cheese to the cream cheesed jalapeno.
Slice the pepperoni flavored sausage snack bites in half lengthwise. Add to the jalapeno; most can take 2. I got these at Aldi's. They were actually the most expensive item besides the cheese! The jals would have been, but they got rung up as Cubanelles at $0.79/lb instead of $1.99/lb somehow! Some of them were really huge, up to 4" and about 2" wide at the shoulders. Not all are shown, I made 36 ABT halves.
Wrap everything in bacon. $1.99/lb again at PriceRite. The typical size jals can get away with a half a slice of bacon if you stretch it; the jumbo ones need a whole slice.
Here they are before the bacon:
And here they are after 3-4 hours... I also had a boneless rib roast in and Wicked Beans, it took longer at 220 degrees and the bacon wasn't crisp enough until the prime rib was done & removed & the temp turned up to 265 for the extra hour or 2.
The main course, Ribeye Roast (boneless Prime rib), only $3.99/LB! This was removed at 125 and rested 30 minutes before cutting.
Sorry, the beans were too wet and gave them a couple more hours to get them to "fork standing" thickness. I put them into 1 qt containers & forgot to take pics but they were almost the color of milk chocolate!
Has anybody else used this type of cheese? I wonder if it can be smoked. The nuking of the jals before assembly knocked down the heat of the peppers.
