Gigantic Texas Twinkies with a healthy dose of garlic in the center of it all.

I'm disabled so these took me several days of hard work but boy were they worth it, they taste great.

Here's what I made:

And here's how I made them:

First I made a brisket:

Though I've smoked a lot with it already this was my first brisket on my new Weber Summit Kamado. It came out nice enough that I felt bad chopping up 4 cups worth of it.

Then I smoked me some cream cheese, I used the rub NA11 my wife picked up at costco.

Then I sat on the old picnic table I made when my legs still worked lol and peeled me 12 full heads of garlic (We make a lot of garlic bread and pizzas). All the little skins get everywhere so I find it easier to do it outside and the mower cleans it :)

Then I put em in a cast iron and olive oil over that

Then I roasted them at 375 for about 75 minutes, seperated the oil, and mashed them:

Then I got 27 of the biggest Jalapeños I could find (I sorted through two bins lol) and cut T's in them with my old pocket knife, cause I'm fancy like that

Then I figured if I used 4 blocks of cream cheese, 4 cups of chopped brisket, and 4 scoops of garlic from an actual teaspoon that should fill the peppers. I put it all in a big bowl and mushed it all up with my hands while adding back the previously seperated oil until it was all mixed together and a consistency that I thought would work to stuff them full.

I had lots of extra, but I think three would have been too close for comfort.

The extra is going to make incredible sandwiches.

Then I wrapped them in bacon. All but one pepper was so large that they needed three slices of bacon to cover them.

I put more of the rub NA11 on it.

Then I smoked them

And I got someone else to carry them into the house :)

I asked my wife to take a picture of her dinner tonight and that's this one:

I'm gonna enter it in the garlic contest if I do it right.

I'm having guests this weekend and as usual will host in my gazebo. I'll be making ribs but when the guests arrive I'll have these warming on the Santa Maria grill. The grill will be up high and I'll have a flames below and this will be both hor d'oeuvres and ambiance all in one.

While the garlic certainly comes through you can still get the rub, the Hickory (I used Hickory chunks consistently for everything smoked in this), and a little jalapeño. Yumminess

Thanks for reading :)
 
That would take me several days and im not disabled, well, not yet, i have degenerative disc disease, and a few bulged discs, but i can get around on a good day after a steroid injection.
 
Sadly a lot of this thread got lost in the transition to the new forum, and in one of the reply's I got to share one of my favorite pics. I hope no one mind me reposting it now. I can no longer garden and grow these so this was one of the last years I did:
