Smoked Jalapeno Poppers
These delectable smoked jalapeno poppers are the perfect complement to brisket. If you haven't experienced the delight of smoked cream cheese yet, get ready for a delightful surprise. While I personally favor oak or hickory wood for the smoker, feel free to use your preferred wood of choice.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup real bacon bits
- 1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 12 fresh jalapeno peppers, stems removed, cored
Instructions
- Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) according to manufacturer’s directions using wood of choice.
- Mix cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and steak seasoning in a bowl until evenly combined.
- Fill a piping bag with cream cheese mixture. Pipe mixture into hollowed-out jalapenos and place on a disposable baking sheet.
- Place baking sheet directly on the grate of the smoker. Smoke for 2 hours.
