The "PIGGLES" Challenge! PRIZES INSIDE!

[Smokin Turkey]

Sweet! I know what you mean about the saltiness. The last batch I made came out a little salty. I think next round might get something sweeter or just some BBQ sauce once the bacon crisps. I know I am on to something here and part of the fun is involving my fellow brethren and as a bonus, giving away something to the best submission!

Ok Brian I was a doubter. In fact I thought you were out of your tree!!! But I kind of knew you from previous posts and decided since I had butts going and was making the usual ABTs that maybe I should give Piggles a try. Mentioning Piggles brought a round of giggles from my spectators but I still went ahead and made a few. I just used cream cheese and chopped up souvlaki wrapped in some nice bacon and dusted with some homemade rub.
I tell you that everybody took baby bites at first but then there were nods of approval and the plate was emptied. I will make these again but I need to adjust for a bit of saltiness.
Thanks for posting your recipe.

Weekend bump! I just spent 2 hours preparing the "PIGGLES" for Boston Hills. I leave in the morning. (its 1:04am now so later in the morning.) Here is some of my pron before we cook them. The ones showing are stuffed with Jalapeno cream cheese blend and BBQ rib meat and then wrapped in bacon. The other box below is all the original recipe I came up with. I plan to try basting in BBQ sauce once the bacon is crisp and some other rubs.

Thanks!

I must admit I didn`t LOVE the piggles the first time, But I will definetely try more. I felt the way I did mine was lacking something..... Don`t know what though.

I found something to really give these a sweeter flavor to offset the "pickle" taste.. Drain off the juices after you scoop the seeds, then either spritz with apple juice and let set over night or soak in apple juice.

My piggles rock yours!

okay so I think you are on to something here with "piggles"
' as you can customize the recipe to fit several different food themes-heres my recipe:
I started with Boars Head kosher Dills a good four inches long and stuffed them with a ham salad I made( recipe to follow) then of course the bacon and a little time on the ol grill, indirect heat is key to no flare ups and a brush of a little watered down BBQ sauce and they were a huge hit by all who tasted them so try these, I think you will like them.
recipe for ham salad "Piggle"stuffing-
1 cup fineley diced ham
1/4 cup minced yellow onion
1/2 cup fineley diced Smoked Gouda cheese.skin removed
1/2 tsp sweet pickle relish
1 1/2 tsp yellow mustard
1/2 cup mayonaise
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 pinches ceyanne pepper
about ten drops tobasco
pinch of salt

mix all ingredients well, and use for "Piggle" stuffing.
thanks for playing!

I just so happen to be firing up the smoker tomorrow night. I'll have to toss a few of these on if there's enough room after the ribs and chicken.

OK.......HERE GOES!!!!!!!!!
I couldn't wait until the weekend....had to give these a try last night.
I called home on the drive from work and the wife told me she was getting ready to put a meatloaf together, so I said, "Well, let's just throw it on the grill!" (never tried it before)


SOOOOO.....I stopped at the store and picked up some stuff for ABT's and PIGGLES too!


For the PIGGLES, I cooked up some Italian bulk sausage. Added the sausage to a pound of cream cheese, added 1/2 of a shallot, 1 clove of garlic, hollowed out my pickle halves (bought whole to start, then sliced in half) and rinsed them very well to try and avoid the over-saltiness. Wrapped them in bacon, and TADAAA! PIGGLES!!!


I ended up making enough stuffing for 6 PIGGLES, 2 ABT's and 2 stuffed Anaheim's (just wanted to try the ABT's and Anaheims, but I knew the kids would like the PIGGLES, so I made more.

So...the pics have meatloaf and the peppers with them, but the pics of the SHEAR ENJOYMENT are of the PIGGLES!!!:mrgreen::mrgreen:

We have 4 kids. All of them liked them but the PICKY one. He loves pickles, loves cheese, loves sausage and LOVES bacon......but that's just how he is.......so I didn't include a photo of him, since it can't be said that he "enjoyed" it. We ate his for him!!!!:biggrin:

The kids TORE THEM UP!!!! (My wife and I helped a bit:wink
LOVED them.... next time gonna try to soak the pickles in apple juice like you suggest, although we didn't really NOT like the saltines....after all, it's a pickle!!!



ENJOY!!!

The ABT's are on the top of the photo, and PIGGLES on the bottom.....well...I guess 1 is on top.....

VVVVVV And THIS one will be my "best PIGGLE pose".......VVVVVV

Plated with some homemade potato salad.....

And the family's take on them......

Good enough??


Tasty for sure.....we're gonna do more this weekend!!!!
