Bacon Triads

Eatapedia · Posted: Mar 18 2010 Post subject: Bacon Triads

Tonight, I made these little bundles of awesome. Bacon wrapped chicken thighs, stuffed with cheese and ham. I don't know if this has a more common name, but my wife thought that "Bacon Wrapped Meat stuffed with Meat" didn't really have a nice ring to it...so "Bacon triads" it is!

This is too much ham, next time I'll halve that.

All wrapped up and ready for the Traeger:

See you in 2 hours!

The smell was fantastic

The cheese held its shape nicely

Asparagus for "balance"

They tasted fantastic!! The kids ate them too! The leftover smell terrific, and I have been instructed to bring leftovers to work tomorrow.

Full recipe is here: http://www.eatapedia.com/index.php/Bacon_triads

Looks great. It is kinda of a chicken cordon bleu, - breading +bacon. Maybe you should call them love pockets, cause I'd sure love to have me some.

Looks Great!!! Not trying to one up you, but I have done very similar.
Boneless thighs stuffed with ham and pepper jack cheese and wrapped them up in bacon. I thought of them as "Cordon BBQ"
Bacon Triad, very nice.
I didn't post pictures though, and on "The Ring" If there are no pictures, it didn't happen. Laughing

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all the great feedback, guys!!

Hey Mark - How did you find the consistency of the Jack cheese? Did it stay in the pocket OK, or run out? I was considering trying these with brie and cranberry, or maybe some spinach inside.

Keep on smokin'!

Some ran out, but I think it's a matter of how well you wrap them. I can see you put a lot of time and love into wrapping those. They look great.
What kind of cheese did you use?

I used St. Albert's cheese curds, because I really wanted the cheese to retain its original shape, for the most part...I had no idea how that bacon wrap was going to hold up, but I was quite amazed after finally taking a look, after 90 minutes!

Just like ABT's, you just can't cook them too hot and fast. Thanks for the pics.
