BBQ Brisket Bombs - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 6 to 8 bombs

Ingredients

  • 1 lb BBQ brisket or pulled pork shredded see note
  • ¼- ½ cup bread crumbs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese at room temperature
  • ½ cup diced pickled jalapenos
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 1 ½ cups Panko bread crumbs
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Heat the meat up in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium heat, until it is warm, but not too hot to handle.
  • In a medium bowl, add the meat and stir in the bread crumbs, slowly until the mixture holds together.
  • Using a ¼ cup, measure out the mixture and roll into a ball. Repeat with the remaining meat to form 6 to 8 balls.
  • With your finger, poke a large hole in the center and stuff with jalapenos and cheese. Pinch at the top to close. Repeat with all the balls.
  • in a small bowl, whisk the eggs well. Add the Panko crumbs to a small bowl. Dip a ball in the eggs to coat well. Dredge in the Panko, to generously coat. For an extra crispy coating, repeat in the egg and Panko. Place on a wire rack and repeat with the reaminging balls.
  • Preheat the fry oil in a Dutch oven or deep frying to 340 degrees F. Add a few balls at a time to the oil and fry for about 3 minutes, rolling around, or until golden brown and crispy. Strain from the oil and place on a wire rack. Serve warm.

Notes

Tip: After frying all the balls, to ensure they are still warm and melted in the middle you can microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, before serving.
You can buy premade BBQ brisket or pork at the grocery store. However, if you are using meat that you have smoked and shredded, lightly stir in bbq sauce. The wetter the mixture, the more bread crumbs you will have to use to get it to the right consistency.
