Directions
Chorizo and Cream Cheese Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers
Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 (or other cooker) to 300°F. Set up for indirect grilling. Slice jalapeños lengthwise, and remove seeds. Cook chorizo, and drain excess fat.
- Combine cream cheese, cheese(s), chorizo and Cattleman's seasoning in a bowl and mix by hand or with a fork. Fill up each jalapeño half with the cheese/meat mixture and wrap with a half slice of bacon. Use a toothpick to hold it together.
Place the filled jalapeños on a FrogMat on the cooker, and cook for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until the bacon is cooked through.
Pulled Pork Deviled Eggs
- Place the yolks in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients, except the pulled pork. Mix thoroughly until smooth. Add just over half of the pulled pork to the mixture, and stir to incorporate.
- Place the yolk mixture in a ziploc bag, cut a corner off of the bag and pipe the mixture into the egg whites. Garnish with the remaining pulled pork and a dusting of Cattleman's Carne Asada.
Bread and Butter Jalapeño Pickles
- Slice jalapeños, and pack into a pint sized mason jar, or multiple smaller jars.
- Combine vinegar, sugar and spices in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Stir to make sure sugar is dissolved. Pour hot liquid over jalapeños, filling the jar(s). Let cool about half an hour, before covering. Refrigerate overnight before enjoying.
