New turd recipe; serious suggestions please

[Mark]

Basically, turds are meatloaf mixture stuffed into bell peppers that are wrapped with a slice of bacon, right?

I'v never tried this. I just made it up. In fact, I've never made turds before of any kind. However, I've got several gallons of pickled hot cherry peppers. So how about a reality check?

Ingredients
2 dozen hot pickled cherry peppers
1/4 pound ground beef
1/4 pound pork sausage
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (careful using salted)
1/4 cup diced onion
1 egg

Directions
1. Remove core peppers and flush out all seeds.
2. Combine all the **** listed above in a mixing bowl.
2. Mix in enough Schaefer to loosen the mixture.
3. Stuff the peppers.
4. Smoke them until browned

This should be about enough to fill one level of a Bandera

Don't mean to dominate your threads Mark, but just wanted to point you to the recipe section of the main page which has a couple different turd variations listed under appetizers.

Thanks

Havent heard of using Bell peppers to make a turd. Usually jalepenos, habaneros, or mini sweets.

Instead of just using cream cheese, i use other shreaded cheeses, like pepper jacks, munster, cheddar and i really like the mexican three cheese. Sheread them fine and add some cream cheese to the shreaded cheese to make it spreadable.

Then use your imagination..... , some par cooked sausage meat, or taco meat, leftover brisket, pulled pork, crab meat. (i chop these in the food processor).. added to the cheese makes some variations.

Stuffing a pimento olive, or a small piece of a breakfast sausage into the bottom before stuffing them is also an option.

Get yourself a small pastry bag from the supermarket and chuck the tips. I use the pastry bags wide opening to stuff the japs from the top. Wrap them in a whole slice of bacon and I skewer 6 on a stick instead of toothpicking individually. If im in no hurry, I'll cap them with a mushroom cap.

That small pastry bag suggestion is no joke by the way. I had never saw it used till this weekend and will never hand/spoon stuff turds again. The speed you get with that bag is amazing.

Also, another neat trick I saw this weekend was instead of wrapping the bacon AROUND the pepper and finding something to keep the stuffing in, FOLD half a bacon slice OVER the top with the middle right over the opening of the pepper. Keeps the stuffing in.

I love using the low fat stuff just to keep that slim figure. Low fat cream cheese, some of that super healthy breakfast sausage from Jimmy Dean, some spices. I'm also a huge fan of the miniature sweet peppers. I see them at a lot of the Sam's in St. Louis Mark so you should be able to find them.

Is Sam's selling minature sweet peppers that are fresh? If so, I've got fresh home-grown Poblano's. How'd you think Poblano's would be as turds?

Some stuff I forgot in my other post.

i use a coring tool to core out the jap, and then under running water, I use a small espresso spoon to clean out the remaining seeds. I like to stuff them from the top as opposed to slicing down the middle. I've seen it done where the chef sliced down the middle leaving it attached at the tip like a hinge, opening them up, stuffing and then reassembling it and holding it together with bacon and toothpick. Not my favorite way. And by using the pastry bag, you can stuff thru the top and stuff a dozen turds a minute.

I also use a whole stip of bacon wrapped around it, then skewer them and stand them up so the cheese dont leak out, ou can also "cork" them with and olive. (i use the mushroom cap usually).

This is the tool I use, plan to add Phil's Douche bag to the arsenal. Tool cleans out seeds as well.
