1
Prepare the Jalapeños
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Carefully slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a spoon or a knife to reduce the heat level. Set aside.
2
Mix the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped brisket, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined and creamy.
3
Stuff the Jalapeños
Using a spoon, fill each jalapeño half with the brisket and cheese mixture, pressing down slightly to ensure it's packed in.
4
Wrap with Bacon
Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each stuffed jalapeño, securing the ends with a toothpick if necessary. Make sure the bacon covers the filling completely.

5
Grill the Jalapeños
Place the wrapped jalapeños on the preheated grill. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the filling is heated through.
6
Add BBQ Sauce
In the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the Kansas City BBQ sauce over the jalapeños to glaze them, and continue grilling until the sauce caramelizes slightly.

7
Plate and Serve
Remove the Texas Twinkies from the grill and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with additional BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
