Texas Twinkies

Texas Twinkies
If you love Jalapeño Poppers then you are going to love my absolute favorite Tailgate Snack - Texas Twinkies. Texas Twinkies were invented by my friend's Hutchins BBQ in McKinney, TX and they are amazing! I mean how can stuffing cream cheese and brisket into a jalapeño and wrapping it in bacon and smoking it be bad?

Warning — Making these for dinner guests is like giving milk to a stray cat - they'll never leave. I know from experience and that was before Pastor Pittman took it up a notch by smoking the cream cheese.

Hutchins is where its at. Love eating there. Show up early for lunch as the line gets long fast.

Hey Matt…I made some Texas Twinkies tonight for our family and everyone loved them! The only thing I did different was we had left over smoked pulled pork, so we used that instead of brisket. Thanks for sharing this with us!

A few weeks ago I had my entire family here in TX visiting from Tampa, FL. Between them and my kids, we had 21 people over, so I fired up the smoker and made brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, and smoked mac n cheese, all following the videos from the Meat Church. They all loved it and raved about it. Now I wish I had made some of these as well.

Holy carp that sounds ridiculously good.

When I read "Texas Twinkies" I immediately thought of Hutchins BBQ in Frisco. My wife and I drive to that location from Plano even though another location is closer. Two Texas Twinkies are a meal for me, with broccoli slaw, the best I've ever tasted. 😎👍🏻💯

I didn't have any brisket on hand, but I used this recipe as a guide to make some jalapeño poppers for the first tailgate of the season. They turned out delicious, but I had to use vegan cream cheese (seasoned with Honey Bacon rub) because one of my guests is allergic to dairy and I didn't want to leave her out with anything on the menu. If you're someone who is in the mood for heat, use vegan cream cheese. It doesn't really taste any different in a popper, but it doesn't contain any casein, so it doesn't do anything to temper the heat of the pepper. I found that out the hard way today (which is generally fine, but I wasn't in the mood for that much heat today).

I made these for the fourth for the first time. Followed the recipe and have to say these were BANGIN!! Can’t wait to do them again!

[Isaac-mckk]

As always, this is a great video. Since I moved from Texas back to Florida, I have been following your recopies to bring a little bit of Texas with me and believe me, the friends and family ain't mad at it.

[ShotokhanDragon]

Oh my gosh!!!
I couldn’t wait to try this recipe.
However, I had a few poblano peppers, and ground beef.
I served it with a side salad with a lemon vinaigrette dressing.
Oh good grief!!
We scarfed that down like a hungry tiger on a fresh kill.

Thank you for posting this video, and keep them coming.
I have learned so much from you.
Eventually, I will confess to my family and friends that my grill-genius is thank to you 🤣

[loveGODlikebeerlivetoserve]

Matt, genuinely, thank you sir. Twice now I’ve prepared your recipes and two years back to back I’ve had success at our annual 4th block parties. And a bunch of great meal covers in between then. Thank you!

Gotta love a Texas Twinkie!! Many days I've picked up a 2 meat plate at Hutchins BBQ and added 1 Texas Twinkie....the 2 meat plate ended up as lunch or dinner the next day. For sure it's enough to be a meal...especially if you add a cool side or two!!

[jimhayes]

Thanks for the tip on softening the jalapenos on the smoker!!!! Makes a huge difference to me on how quickly I can put them together.

[katana]

Your channel and products are totally on point. Thanks Matt

[Peeblesrock]

As a Scotsman the tailgate culture you guys have at sports events is something I really envy. These look delicious

[Docavelli]

For cleaning out the insides use a metal 1/8 tsp measuring spoon. Sounds like an insignificant thing but I've found it to be the best thing for cleaning my jalapenos. Fits perfectly inside the pepper.

Also, use a piping bag or zip top bag with a corner cut to put your filling in the pepper. These are so labor intensive I do everything I can to cut the time down

[tinamarie]

Oh my goodness! Can't wait ...I'm starting these tonight for Thanksgiving dinner!

[billyhughes]

Cowboy's fan -- I can't hold it against you because your talent for smoking any kind of food is top notch. Love the channel.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I cringe every time people, even "professional" chefs, talk about how the seeds contain a pepper's heat.

[nskimnr]

I’ve made these twice now. The first was Aggie vs Arkansas tailgate at Jerry World. I got feedback from folks they were a bit on the spicy side. Someone told me to blanch them in ice water after the smoke pepper step. That did the trick. Also congrats Goldee’s for that Texas Monthly #1 rank!
