I am actually looking for ideas for something for the tailgate this weekend

I generally cook/smoke the night before. I always do something bacon themed and never do the same thing twice

I am thinking ABTs this weekend. Slice jalapenos and/or sweet peppers in half. Fill with a cream cheese/shredded cheese mix. Optional can top with a lil smokie or a raw shrimp, 40 ct size. Wrap in bacon. Smoke or cook raised direct.

In the past I have done everything from bacon candy to bacon explosion to bacon crackers

Have you done bacon wrapped hotdogs with jalapeno bits stuffed inside the dog?

Never done it. Bro let me blow your mind. Get hoagie buns and grill some dogs. Make some bbq and place it on top of the dog with some bbq sauce. Bro talk about living good

spiral cut those dogs!

What do you mean by spiral cut?

What is this sorcery?? Do you cut with a knife or is there a hotdog spiralizer?

I think it's done the same as an apple.

My buddy (who's actually a Florida fan) actually has this pretty good dip that I make during game day sometimes and to parties.

Ingredients
1. 1 Can of Rotelle
2. 1 stick of cream cheese
3. Italian sausage (I use spicy)
4. Bags of Tostitos Scoops

Cook the sausage. Put the can of Rotelle and cream cheese into like a mini small cooker and let them blend. Throw the sausage in there. I cut up the sausage into smaller pieces. You can use Cholula sauce to make the dip spicier. Then use the Tostitos scoops to scoop up the dip and enjoy.

Rotelle as in pasta? Pre-cooked for the 'can' aspect. Don't think I would like that.

Could adapt this for bacon instead of the weenies. Pre-cook, but under cook bacon slices before cooking, then add to the puff pastry dough. Has zucchini sliced using a potato peeler. Have no idea what zucchini brings to this. I would probably drop some lemon juice on the Z ere I rolled them up. I use Google translate. (Also, add some hard/semi-hard cheese after the portions are cut?)

https://cucinareconpaola.ifood.it/girelle-di-sfoglia-con-zucchine-e/

From the site (Google Translate):

Ingredients:

1 roll of rectangular puff pastry
1 or 2 zucchini (depends on size)
Wurstel (not the small ones) <- substitute pre-under-cooked Bacon slices?

Method:

Roll out the roll of puff pastry and cover it with the zucchini cut into thin slices for the length (I used the potato peeler to get thin and uniform slices). Place the sausages on the long side of the pastry and roll up. Cut the swivels about 1 cm or 1.5 cm and place them on the baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake at 180 degrees for 15/20 minutes, allow to cool on the wire rack .
Excellent freshly baked, delicious even at room temperature!

My Jalepeno Poppers -

• Jalepenos cut in half lengthwise, cleaned out
• Cream Cheese (8oz) mixed with 1 large tablespoon Cajun Seasoning (Zatarians is my go-to)
• Stuff each half with cream cheese, wrap in Bacon, thread with toothpick
• Grill (closed to keep bacon grease from flaming up the coals)
• Serve

Another bacon-ish dish I heard about this week is as follows; sorry, I don't know proportions:

• Italian Sausage (ground, browned)
• Baked Beans
• Bacon (mostly, but not fully cooked, will bake later)
• Brown Sugar
• BBQ Sauce
• Bake and serve

Ro-Tel, the canned tomato/pepper mixture found near crushed/diced tomatoes in the supermarket.

What do you mean by spiral cut?

use a wooden skewer through the middle of the hot dog, lengthwise. use a knife and rotate the hot dog

spiral cut has a couple of advantages. little storage area to hold the toppings better, instead of them falling off to the side. more surface area to have that grill finish. plus, they look cool
