Did a little BBQ experimenting today with a differing take on a smoked sausage I like to do.
I started with some diced potato, poblano, and jalapeno peppers.
I used Italian sausage to make a bowl, wrapped them in bacon, filled with potato/pepper mix, topped with cheese, then tossed on the smoker.
Off the smoker.
Notes:
I'm happy with the flavor and texture.
I'm happy with the technique in that they didn't fall apart.
I'd make them smaller next time. I used a beer can to make the bowl, but I might use a muffin tin next time.
I'll use a higher quality bacon next time. I was using the shit my wife got on sale. I think a thicker cut would help the structural integrity.
I'd use a higher quality cheese or cheese sauce next time. Once again, on a test run, I was using the bagged shredded shit my wife buys for salads.
I might play around with a drizzle for them.
