My husband and I are not big sports fans. At least not the kind shown on TV. We’re more into running and triathlons.
However, any excuse is a great excuse for a party–or at least party food! One of our favorites is Atomic Buffalo Turds. It’s always a crowd-pleaser. I’m not sure who originally came up with the name, but whenever we have a brew day or get the smoker out for a get together someone will throw these in.
Although they are traditionally smoked, you can also cook them on a grill or even in the oven. And, the variations are endless. Add smokies or chorizo. Stir in cheese or seasonings with the cream cheese. Go crazy!

The name just cracks me up! We had a bumper crop of jalapeno peppers last summer – could have used this delicious recipe. What a great game day app!
Yes, a great way to use up jalapenos!
I like football enough to enjoy the food, and have an adult bevvy – these bites look perfect for football!
I’ve never added sausage to mine before, but I will now! How yummy!
This is soo cool and I love the name for the recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Wendy, the name alone is very intriging..,.I know that my husband would love these.
We’re just crazy about poppers and these look great!
My husband does something very similar in the smoker, we are having them for the Super Bowl next weekend too! He doesn’t add the extra meat just cream cheese and wrapped in bacon, man, are they good!
Haha! Such an interesting name! My husband would absolutely love these.
I’m with you on the non-football watching (and sports in general) but I have to say I’d suffer through it if it meant one of these!
That has got to be the best name for an appetizer ever! They look great!
I will have to pass these on to my brother who has a smoker. Maybe he’ll remember his big sister when he makes a batch, hahaha.
You can also make them on a grill or in the oven!
Jalapeno & bacon!! Delicious!!
These are destined to become our family favorite! Perfect for game day or anytime!
I love this take on poppers.
This and a beer can chicken have a lot in common: funny but delicious!

What a hilarious name! But I can see why they’re a huge hit!
These are always a hit. Whenever I have guests over for a cook out, I’ll always make up a batch but leave one with all the seeds and membrane in. Makes eating them kinda fun as no-one knows whose gonna get a really spicy one!
