I made these yesterday with some buddies over to watch in support of my attempt. They turned out DAYUM GOOD!
I did a variation however. I didnt use chorizo, i used deer sausage from a deer my father in law killed about 2 miles from my house. Just thought that was cool
Also I didnt use any garlic, or onion powder, mainly because I forgot. I did however use in my creamcheese, venison, cheddar cheese mixture; lots of Tony Chatchere's creole seasoning, some of the BBQ dry rub (also used heavily on the bacon), and for more smokey/spicey kick, i threw in a decent amount of fresh ground chipotle powder.
Threw em on the pre-heated electric smoker with a nice chunk of hickory thrown on the coil. 2 hours later, this is the result. 10min after this shot, all but 4 were left
