Texas Twinkies

Texas Twinkies
If you love Jalapeño Poppers then you are going to love my absolute favorite Tailgate Snack - Texas Twinkies. Texas Twinkies were invented by my friend's Hutchins BBQ in McKinney, TX and they are amazing! I mean how can stuffing cream cheese and brisket into a jalapeño and wrapping it in bacon and smoking it be bad?

Warning - Making these for dinner guests is like giving milk to a stray cat - they'll never leave. I know from experience and that was before Pastor Pittman took it up a notch by smoking the cream cheese.

[@vickieallsopp137]

🤣😂 that is so.. true!!

[@BlueJay86]

Lmbo!!! Love this comment!

[@mabryant5916]

Too funny.😂

[@ShotokhanDragon]

…or giving it to neighbors. They said: that was great!!! What’s for lunch tomorrow? 🤣

[@joshshields2349]

Hutchins is where its at. Love eating there. Show up early for lunch as the line gets long fast.

[@smdftb8495]

I love living right between both locations. That jalapeno cheddar sausage is incredible

[@fieldsfamilycookingandoutdoors]

Hey Matt…I made some Texas Twinkies tonight for our family and everyone loved them! The only thing I did different was we had left over smoked pulled pork, so we used that instead of brisket. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@loveGODlikebeerlivetoserve]

Matt, genuinely, thank you sir. Twice now I’ve prepared your recipes and two years back to back I’ve had success at our annual 4th block parties. And a bunch of great meal covers in between then. Thank you!

[@paulshatkyvich8828]

I made these for the fourth for the first time. Followed the recipe and have to say these were BANGIN!! Can’t wait to do them again!

[@davebaker1325]

A few weeks ago I had my entire family here in TX visiting from Tampa, FL. Between them and my kids, we had 21 people over, so I fired up the smoker and made brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, and smoked mac n cheese, all following the videos from the Meat Church. They all loved it and raved about it. Now I wish I had made some of these as well.

[@Isaac-mc4kk]

As always, this is a great video. Since I moved from Texas back to Florida, I have been following your recopies to bring a little bit of Texas with me and believe me, the friends and family ain't mad at it.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Awesome!!!

[@jimhayes2676]

Thanks for the tip on softening the jalapenos on the smoker!!!! Makes a huge difference to me on how quickly I can put them together.

[@clintbartenstein6876]

So glad I found your channel during the pandemic! I have made many of your recipes since for family gatherings and they all kill it! Thanks and can't wait for more in the tailgate series

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks Clint!!

[@katana12919]

Your channel and products are totally on point. Thanks Matt

[@hpdelapore2527]

Hell yeah! Love me some Hutchins. Thanks for tip about the peppers Matt! I’ve never been able to get Twinkies right (or even come close to Hutchins’), but I’m gonna try out this method tomorrow and let ya know.

[@itsnotme07]

Gotta love a Texas Twinkie!! Many days I've picked up a 2 meat plate at Hutchins BBQ and added 1 Texas Twinkie....the 2 meat plate ended up as lunch or dinner the next day. For sure it's enough to be a meal...especially if you add a cool side or two!!

[@winkfinkerstien1957]

When I read "Texas Twinkies" I immediately thought of Hutchins BBQ in Frisco. My wife and I drive to that location from Plano even though another location is closer. Two Texas Twinkies are a meal for me, with broccoli slaw, the best I've ever tasted. 😎👍🏻💯

[@ShotokhanDragon]

Oh my gosh!!! I couldn’t wait to try this recipe. However, I had a few poblano peppers, and ground beef. I served it with a side salad with a lemon vinaigrette dressing. Oh good grief!! We scarfed that down like a hungry tiger on a fresh kill. Thank you for posting this video, and keep them coming. I have learned so much from you. Eventually, I will confess to my family and friends that my grill-genius is thank to you 🤣

[@michellemcd8616]

Just made these. They are amazing!!! Thanks for the video!!! 😁

[@benbacher]

Making these today on the food truck, always a hit!

[@torkmason]

I didn't have any brisket on hand, but I used this recipe as a guide to make some jalapeño poppers for the first tailgate of the season. They turned out delicious, but I had to use vegan cream cheese (seasoned with Honey Bacon rub) because one of my guests is allergic to dairy and I didn't want to leave her out with anything on the menu. If you're someone who is in the mood for heat, use vegan cream cheese. It doesn't really taste any different in a popper, but it doesn't contain any casein, so it doesn't do anything to temper the heat of the pepper. I found that out the hard way today (which is generally fine, but I wasn't in the mood for that much heat today).

[@BonesBrewsBBQ]

Love this T method and pre-smoking the jalapeños before stuffing them. We will be making this version asap! We love using Meat Church seasonings in our KZbin Channel recipes, too!

[@user-uk7sq1ki6b]

Making these today on the food truck, always a hit!. Another one on my to do list. Look soooo good..

[@rottenstang75]

Good of you to give a shout out to Hutchins in McKinney. I've eat there and it was the best bbq I ever had. I'm a new subscription and glad to have found your channel. The love you put in every recipe is appreciated.

[@garrettstephens8168]

Loving these longer videos with some banter and story!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks Garrett. The story telling is a fav of mine!

[@patrickflynn2956]

I’ll be cooking these this weekend with the new tips I regularly cook your CHORIZO JALAPEÑO POPPERS w honey hog or hot. Thanks for sharing!

[@JayHBoomerSooners7]

Those are always a must when I’m in town and stop off at Hutchins!

[@wildlyunrulyadventures3942]

Your boys are ballin' so far this season! Hopefully they can keep that steam rollin'. Unlike my team....... *crying* Love your content!! Can't wait to try some of these recipes!! Think I am going to order some of the honey bacon seasoning. That sounds amazing!

[@tinamarie0701]

Oh my goodness! Can't wait ...I'm starting these tonight for Thanksgiving dinner!

[@petethehandyman9185]

Those look amazing, definitely will be making those, I really am enjoying your cooking series

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks Pete!

[@jlieberum]

These look amazing. I can’t wait to give this a try

[@whatsdenniscooking6746]

Another one on my to do list. Look soooo good.

[@billduggan1334]

We love to make these. My family doesn’t really like much heat, so we usually use poblanos…less heat and more stuffing!

[@AGRsZuk]

I'm a Saints fan and will happily follow your boy after seeing his dedication to his team, haha. Love your take on these, but have crawfish for my meat mixture! Love the no toothpicks! Thanks for the tips!

[@smokefire_southern_eats]

I have everything to make these. I can't wait to try!

[@Peeblesrock7]

As a Scotsman the tailgate culture you guys have at sports events is something I really envy. These look delicious

[@andrewyork3869]

No tailgating outside a football match?

[@valerieseeley4133]

Love your videos. They are so informative. We can't get your seasoning up in Canada. Can you share a rub recipe that's similar? I'm doing a brisket today.

[@billyhughes9776]

Cowboy's fan -- I can't hold it against you because your talent for smoking any kind of food is top notch. Love the channel.

[@BigKiwiBBQ]

Matt, Best Texas Twinkies so far! Thanks for all the great content!

[@jacobespinoza811]

Thanks for sharing! I made these today and they were a hit!!!

[@michellekelley3939]

Made these last Sunday to watch SNF...AMAZING!!!!

[@William_Halsey1972]

Ain't nothin wrong with this video. Love the recipe and comes just in time as I have just enough leftover brisket from Labor Day to pull off yet another BBQ miracle. I ain't mad about it at all...

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Perfect

[@Docavelli]

For cleaning out the insides use a metal 1/8 tsp measuring spoon. Sounds like an insignificant thing but I've found it to be the best thing for cleaning my jalapenos. Fits perfectly inside the pepper. Also, use a piping bag or zip top bag with a corner cut to put your filling in the pepper. These are so labor intensive I do everything I can to cut the time down

[@2005Pilot]

Thanks for the tips!!

[@Docavelli]

@@2005Pilot you're welcome. When doing large amounts it helps to make it easier.

[@mistergrendel32]

I find that using a butter knife gets them stuffed better and less messy. 😜

[@andrewmitchell7850]

I’m gonna try the bag method next time! Thanks

[@soulchambertherapy5291]

I thought of the small measuring spoon to scoop and a piping bag to fill as I was watching this video …. and reading through the comments here you are!!! Reassurance of where my thoughts were on this! Thanks for comment!

[@punisherpr]

Didn’t know Matt as well as a bbq master is also psychic. Nailed it on that prediction of Goldee’s BBQ

[@davidpatchen3706]

Love the tailgate series! Need to open the beer before it gets hot!

[@halsands2469]

Looks incredible Matt!

[@jackrodosta7971]

Those look amazing can't wait to try them.... Lightin up my smoker now! Can't wait any longer

[@Miklo-mf1zc]

Just made these for the 4th n definitely a must try so good

[@Mr.Simple.Smoker]

Another reason to keep watching. Thank you!

[@obsoletegeek]

RTR! I grew up in Prattville, AL and moved to Texas in my 20s. I wasn't born in Texas but got here as fast as I could.

[@commonsense246]

I have found that a paring knife inserted in the top and then twisted several times will effectively core the pepper...no need to open the pepper up at all!!! Cant wait to try this with your recipe for Tri Tip!!!

[@trentk268]

Beautiful. The brisket in the cream cheese was awesome.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

So good!

[@wesray603]

Three of us were in DFW for work and we enjoyed Goldees & Hutchins. They were great. I told them I learned about them here.

[@joerusso747]

Just made the smoked cream cheese jalapeno bacon wrap poppers Labor Day they were amazing

I eat these at Hutchins in McKinney…amazing! Thanks for the video!

[@Lyrinia1983]

Oh my that looks delicious. I make these all the time. But I love the way you did it. So now I got to find your recipe for the smoke cheese. Which is probably in the description. I'm gonna go look right now

[@punisherpr]

Hutchins is just something else…. Now Im craving it 😂 great video.

[@jddaniel481]

Great recipe Matt! Did my first batch last night...smoked the cream cheese and the jalapeños (although I wish I would have smoked the peppers another 20-30 minutes). Regardless, they tasted good, and you're right, you can eat the cream cheese and brisket mix by itself (wink - wink!). PS - Lifelong Texan whose family has been smoking meats forever (some for $$ & some for competition) but I never got into it until now as I bought a pellet smoker. Really glad I stumbled onto your channel and website. Will be ordering some Meat Church swag (and other goodies) ASAP.

[@jmarcos1008]

These look delicious. Thank you.

[@RouseMeNot]

Loved these so much I froze a bunch of left over Twinkies. Today I sliced them frozen and dredged in flour egg and panko. Pan fried. Currently enjoying some Texas Nickels.

[@robertwagner1444]

I was in Frisco last week. Had the Hutchins BBQ brisket, sausage, and Texas Twinkies, of course, had no idea what they were before I got there. Everything was great, but wish I had just ordered a plateful of these. Awesome. Go Cowboys and Roll Tide!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Fantastic!

[@jimduffy9773]

This makes my day. Thanks!

Roll tide. Thanks for the smoked cream cheese recipe. Love it. Been making these Bama twinkies for a while but, huge fan. Have learned so much. Come to Gulf Shores for a crab boil and bbq. Would love to have you, and we'll cook for you for a change.

[@Rocky1115]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I cringe every time people, even "professional" chefs, talk about how the seeds contain a pepper's heat.

[@briansupermag3918]

I actually never knew this. So i learned something today. Its the vanes.

[@nskimn8r884]

I’ve made these twice now. The first was Aggie vs Arkansas tailgate at Jerry World. I got feedback from folks they were a bit on the spicy side. Someone told me to blanch them in ice water after the smoke pepper step. That did the trick. Also congrats Goldee’s for that Texas Monthly #1 rank!

[@joebucktexas]

The reason they call them jalapeno poppers in most jargon is because they are spicy The spicy the better.

[@gregkirchner1108]

You don't blanch in Ice Water, blanching is a short time in boiling water. You Shock in Ice Water. 😂

[@pattievans4121]

Thanks!!!! I'm bringing Texas to my Idaho friends today with these Texas Twinkies!!!

My local grocery store has these but without the brisket.l baked them. So delicious 😋.

Considered an appetizer, but I made these last year at my Halloween party. Now, my family DEMANDS them for every get-together! 😂 they don't care if I'm there or not.... as long as the twinkies are!

I used to live in Mesquite in the mid 90's, a block down from the Mesqute Rodeo. We used to go to the Mesquite BBQ Grille on Military Parkway for all you can eat ribs quite often. I haven't been down there since 1998, I miss those days. It's probably closed or something now.
