Atomic Buffalo Turds Recipe: Jalapeno Sausage And Bacon Appetizer You Didn’t Know You Needed

Let's get one thing straight-Atomic Buffalo Turds (ABTs) may have the most outrageous name in the appetizer world, but once you taste them, you won't care what they're called. A fiery, smoky, creamy blend of jalapeño peppers, cheese, sausage, and bacon, these bite-sized flavor bombs are guaranteed to disappear the moment they hit the table.

Whether you're hosting a barbecue, watching the game, or just looking to impress with a next-level snack, ABTs bring the heat, the crunch, and the flavor-all in one cheekily named package.

Ingredients Required

• Fresh jalapeños (10-12 large ones)
• Cream cheese (softened)
• Cheddar or shredded cheese
• Cooked or raw sausage (pork or chicken works best)
• Bacon strips (thin-cut for quicker crisping)

Optional add-ons: garlic powder, onion powder, chives, or even pineapple bits for sweetness

• Knife
• Spoon
• Barbecue grill or oven
• Cocktail sticks or toothpicks

How To Prepare

1. Slice each jalapeño lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and membranes (unless you want serious heat).

2. Mix softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, and cooked sausage. Spoon the mixture generously into each jalapeño half.

3. Take half a slice of bacon and tightly wrap it around the stuffed jalapeño. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

4. Grill or smoke at around 250°F for 1.5 to 2 hours until the bacon is crisp and the jalapeños are tender. For oven: bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until bacon is crispy.

5. Let them cool slightly, then serve with ranch or BBQ dipping sauce. And brace yourself for the compliments.

Notes, Tips, and Variations

You can substitute cream cheese with cheddar cheese for a different flavour. If you prefer milder heat, use bell peppers instead of jalapeños. Quarter the bell peppers and remove seeds before filling. For added taste, baste the ABTs with barbecue sauce before cooking.
