Texas Twinkies are a major upgrade to your classic jalapeño poppers! They’re jalapeños filled with cream cheese, brisket, and shredded cheese, then wrapped in bacon and cooked to perfection. These are the hit of any party!

A satisfying, mouthwatering appetizer is sure to get your party started off right! If you need some other ideas for your spread, try this awesome 7-layer dip, these crispy egg rolls, or these amazing stuffed pizza bites.

What are Texas Twinkies?

Texas Twinkies are bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers stuffed with cream cheese, smoked brisket, shredded cheese, and seasonings and finished with BBQ sauce. They are unbelievably delicious and a major crowd-pleaser!

While I’ve been stuffing peppers and wrapping them in bacon for years, this version made famous by Hutchins BBQ in McKinney, Texas, takes your classic poppers to the next level! They use extra large jalapeños and fill them with smoked brisket and cream cheese, then wrap them in a thick slice of bacon and smoke them until the bacon is crispy and the pepper is tender. So good, you won’t be able to stop with just one!

Ingredients You’ll Need

This Texas Twinkies recipe is made with easy-to-find ingredients. However, it does require pre-cooked brisket. You can buy smoked brisket from your favorite barbecue joint or make my tried and true slow cooker beef brisket.

• Jalapeño peppers: Choose fresh, bright green jalapeños that are big enough to hold all of the stuffing.
• Cream Cheese: Adds creaminess and balances the heat from the peppers. Be sure to soften your cream cheese so it’s easy to mix with the other filling ingredients.
• Smoked Brisket: Gives the best savory, smoky, and meaty flavor.
• Cheese: For extra cheesiness! We really like shredded pepper jack cheese, but other cheeses will work.
• Seasonings: Mix in garlic powder and onion powder to bring just a hint of garlic and onion flavor.
• Bacon: Bacon makes everything better! Regular bacon will crisp up best.
• BBQ Sauce: Use my homemade BBQ sauce recipe or your favorite store-bought variety.

How to Make Texas Twinkies

Follow these few simple steps, then you’ll have a tasty appetizer your family and friends will love!

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. 
2. Slice the Jalapeños: Prepare the jalapeños by cutting a slit down the length of one side and then another cut across the top, stopping before cutting all the way through. The two cuts should form a T on the jalapeño. Keep the stem, but remove the seeds and veins. Repeat with the remaining jalapenos.
3. Make the Filling: Combine the cream cheese, brisket, pepper jack, and seasonings in a large bowl. Spoon the brisket mixture into the jalapeños until they are filled but are still able to close all the way. 
4. Wrap With Bacon: Wrap each jalapeño tightly with a slice of bacon. You can use toothpicks to hold the bacon on the peppers, but they are not necessary. 
5. Bake: Line the jalapeños up on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the bacon is getting crispy and the jalapeños are tender. Brush each one generously with BBQ sauce and bake for an additional 5 minutes, 
6. Cool and enjoy: Let them cool slightly before serving.

Upgrade the flavors of a classic appetizer with these jalapeño popper pigs in a blanket. Smokey cocktail sausages and jalapeño cream cheese wrapped in a blanket of buttery crescent dough. The jalapeño popper flavors add a creamy and spicy layer that tastes like it was meant to be there all along!

I love bringing delicious appetizers to game days or parties that I know everyone will go crazy over. Similar to this homemade cheese dip, my popular little smokies, or these crispy egg rolls.

Pigs in a Blanket

Jalapeño pigs in a blanket is the best of both worlds. Smokey sausage and creamy jalapeño bacon flavors are all bundled up inside a buttery crescent roll. The creamy cheese melts and every bite is incredible! Everyone loves to snack on pigs in a blanket at a party game day! It’s just one of those appetizers that kids AND adults can’t get enough of.

Jalapeño popper anything is always a hit! Starting with classic jalapeno poppers, you can never go wrong serving these as an appetizer. And if you want more jalapeño popper-inspired recipes, try this soup or this dip!

Jalapeño Popper Pigs in a Blanket Ingredients

Pigs in a blanket with a jalapeño popper spin? Yes, please! This classic appetizer is now even better, and your guests will devour them! Plus, you’ll love the added cream cheese layer loaded with jalapeños and bacon!

• Cream Cheese: Use room temperature cream cheese.
• Fresh Jalapeños: Deseeded and minced for the perfect amount of heat. Add the seeds if you like it spicy!
• Bacon: Crispy chopped bacon is extra yummy in this appetizer.
• Salt and Black Pepper: To taste!
• Garlic Powder: Adds garlic flavor and is SO delicious!
• Cocktail Sausages: Use cocktail sausages or 8 hot dogs cut into 3rds.
• Crescent Rolls: Canned crescent roll sheets are so convenient but canned crescent rolls if you can’t find the rolls.
• Egg: The egg wash gives them a pretty sheen, but you can use melted butter if you prefer.

Jalapeño Popper Pigs in a Blanket Recipe

These jalapeño popper pigs in a blanket are just as easy to make as my original pigs in a blanket recipe. Only a few simple steps and then you’ll have a tasty appetizer your family and friends will love!

1. Preheat Oven, Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Mix Cream Cheese Filling: Add the cream cheese, minced jalapeño, bacon, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a large bowl. Beat together using an electric hand mixer.
3. Cut Crescent Dough: Open the tube of crescent roll dough and spread it out flat on a clean surface. If using crescent rolls instead of crescent sheets, pinch the diagonal seams together. Cut the dough into 12 even strips, and then again in half so you have 24 strips total.
4. Spread on Cream Cheese Mixture: Spread the cream cheese mixture over each strip with a knife or a small spatula. I eyeballed this, but it was about a teaspoon on each strip. If you have extra spread, feel free to add more or save any leftovers to use elsewhere–It’s delicious on a toasted bagel!
5. Add Sausage and Roll Up: Roll each strip of dough around one cocktail sausage. I had enough dough to wrap fully around them twice, but it will depend on the size of the hot dogs you have. Don’t worry if it’s not all the way around twice. Place them with the open seam down on the prepared baking tray.
6. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water then brush on the dough with a pastry brush.
7. Bake: Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Ingredient List

Each ingredient here creates the absolute best flavor and texture. It’s perfectly balanced, and will have you reaching for another chip. If you’re looking for measurements, they can all be found at the end of the post.

• Cream Cheese: Make sure it’s softened so you don’t have lumpy dip.
• Sour Cream: Full-fat sour cream adds a touch of tang to balance out the richness. You can also use Greek yogurt as a substitute.
• Mayonnaise: Mayo binds everything together, creating that perfectly smooth and dippable texture in your blue cheese dip.
• Black Pepper: Adds some warm spice. You can also use paprika or even a little bit of cayenne for more heat.
• Garlic: Because you can never go wrong with garlic. I used garlic powder, but you can also swap in some chopped fresh garlic for a bolder bite.
• Bacon: Six slices of cooked and crumbled bacon for meaty, salty goodness. I like to use precooked bacon for easy prep.
• Blue Cheese: The star of the show! Blue cheese adds that distinct tangy flavor that is so delicious.
• Fontina or Cheddar: A cup of shredded fontina or white cheddar cheese makes the blue cheese dip ooey-gooey and adds a beautiful golden brown coating when broiled.
• Green Onions: Chopped green onions add a pop of color and a subtle onion flavor to every bite of this blue cheese dip.

Ingredient List

Simple ingredients, epic breakfast flavor. You’re going to want these mouthwatering bacon pancakes all the time.

• Bacon: Crumble some into the batter for salty pieces in every bite, and reserve a few whole pieces to add inside each pancake. The more bacon the better, right? Also, reserve some of the bacon grease to cook the pancakes in. It adds so much flavor!
• Egg: Binds everything together and keeps these pancakes light and airy.
• Canola Oil: Makes the pancakes tender.
• Milk: Any kind you like! I used whole milk to make my pancakes extra rich.
• Flour: Give the pancakes their structure. All-purpose works just fine. Don’t overmix! A few lumps are okay.
• Salt: Just a pinch to enhance flavors.
• Sugar: A touch of sweetness to complement the salty bacon. Go easy, the maple syrup will add plenty more sweetness soon enough.

How to Make Bacon Pancakes

Bacon pancakes are surprisingly simple to make and the whole family loves them. A win-win! Grab your favorite breakfast toppings and then get ready to feast.

1. Cook Bacon: Cook the bacon according to package instructions, for this recipe I cook it slightly crispier. Then set the cooked bacon on paper towels to drain and reserve a little of the bacon grease to cook the pancakes in.
2. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients Separately: In a medium bowl whisk together the egg, oil, and milk. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and then mix well.
3. Add Bacon Pieces: Finely chop 4 of the cooked strips of bacon and then mix the chopped bacon into the pancake mix.
4. Add Bacon Strips to Pan, Cover With Pancake Mix: Heat the skillet or griddle used for the bacon to medium heat. Place a couple strips of bacon on the skillet, then pour some of the pancake batter over each strip of bacon, just enough to cover each one individually.
5. Cook and Flip: Cook the pancakes until bubbles begin to form on the top and flip each pancake. Continue to cook until the pancakes are golden on each side. Repeat with the remaining stirps of bacon and pancake batter.
6. Enjoy: Serve fresh with butter and maple syrup!

Topping Ideas

Feel free to play around with flavor combinations! Think maple bacon donut. These sweet syrups will complement the savory flavor of the pancakes so well.
