Strategies for Speeding up ABT Construction???

Kanco Connection said:

ABTs are the bomb. Everybody knows that. But they take so darn long to assemble. Takes me 1-2 hours standing in the kitchen to put together 75-100 ABTs. I feel like I'm doing it wrong. Gotta be a better, faster way. I mean, they're great, but who has time for that?

Any advice on ABT assembly efficiency? Thanks.

It's time consuming no matter what. Getting a pepper tool to core the peppers is really worth it. Much quicker than a knife. I prep all my peppers in steps. Slice all stems off, then core all, then slice all lengthwise. I only use a half strip of bacon per pepper so I slice the whole slab in half & separate the slices before I start assembling. I will even lay out several slices at a time so I can stuff & wrap 5-6 quickly.

Why core if your slicing in half? Don't bother cutting off the top just cut them in half, use a spoon to deseed. If doing a lot don't get picky about getting all the white out, one swipe with the spoon then rinse to get the loose seeds. No one will notice a few seeds if you don't get them all. Use block cream cheese, its already the right length, cut 1/2 inch off the block, cut that in half length ways, now you have 2 pieces 1/4x1/4, repeat. I cut bacon in thirds, whole pack at once, lay it on top don't wrap. After a couple times you can have50 peppers cut in half and deseeded in 15 minutes or less, cream cheese and bacon laid in another 15 or less.
