Ingredients:
6-8 whole jalapeños (find the biggest ones you can from your local grocery store)
8 oz container of cream cheese (experiment with different flavors)
1 package of “Lil Smokies”
2 cups shredded sharp cheese
1 package of bacon (thick cut works really well)
BBQ rub of your choice
Toothpicks
Instructions:
1. Cut the jalapeños in half and scoop the seeds out (wear latex gloves for while prepping these)
2. Fill with cream cheese
3. Sprinkle with rub
4. Press some shredded cheese down into the cream cheese and rub mixture
5. Now press a Lil Smokey down into the cheese mixture
6. Wrap with 1/2 a piece of bacon and stick a toothpick through to secure it all
Set your Grill Dome up for an indirect cook and preheat to 225°. Make sure to toss a chunk of your favorite smoke wood in with the lump charcoal for some nice smoke flavor. These will cook for about 1 – 1 1/2 hrs. These will be piping hot when you pull them off because of the cream cheese in the middle, so let them cool for 5-10 min.
