Ingredients

  • 8-10 large jalapeno peppers halved & seeded
  • 8 tbsp cream cheese softened
  • 20 slices bacon
  • 1/2 lb cheddar cheese cut into strips/sticks the length of the peppers

Instructions

  • Halve the peppers, as instructed, and be sure to remove and seeds & membrane.
  • Add one cheddar cheese stick to a halved, cleaned pepper, followed by a tablespoon of cream cheese. Spread the cream cheese out overtop and into the cavity around the cheese stick using the back of a spoon.
  • Wrap a slice of bacon evenly & tightly around the stuffed pepper. I tuck the finished end in, but you can secure with toothpicks, if needed.
  • Add the prepared jalapeno popper to a 9x13" aluminum baking tray. Repeat until all the peppers have been prepped and added to the pan.
  • Preheat your smoker to 240°. Once preheated add the tray of jalapeno poppers to the smoker.
  • Smoke the peppers for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
  • Let the poppers rest for 2-3 minutes before serving, still being careful to handle as they'll be hot. Carefully remove any toothpicks before eating, and enjoy!
