Smoked Jalapeno Poppers
Smoked Jalapeno Poppers combines crispy bacon, roasted garlic cheese blend, and spicy jalapenos to create a mix of savory, smoky, and spicy flavors in every bite.
Ingredients
- 12 Jalapeno peppers whole, large
- 8 oz Cream Cheese softened
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 1 tbsp Roasted Garlic Store-bought or homemade
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp BBQ Seasoning Store-bought or homemade
- 6 pieces Thick-cut Bacon cut in half
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to around 225-250°F (107-121°C).
- Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes to reduce heat.
- In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, roasted garlic, and BBQ seasoning until well combined.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them evenly.
- Wrap each jalapeno half with a strip of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
- Place the wrapped jalapenos directly on the smoker grate. Smoke the jalapeno poppers for approximately 1.5-3 hours, or until the bacon is crispy and the peppers are tender.
- Remove them from the smoker and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
