Equipment

  • Smoker
  • Traeger/Pellet Grill

Ingredients
  

  • 6 to 8 jalapenos
  • 8 oz block cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (I used Mexican blend)
  • 1 Tbsp Nashville Hot or buffalo seasoning (plus more to sprinkle over top)
  • 12 to 16 slices of bacon (regular cut, not thick cut)
  • honey

Instructions
 

  • Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Scrape the seeds and white ribs out with a spoon.
    Note: If you have sensitive skin gloves are recommended.
  • Put the cream cheese, shredded cheese, and Nashville or buffalo seasoning in a bowl. Stir until evenly mixed, this does take a minute or two but the room temp cream cheese helps.
  • Wrap a slice of bacon around each popper, overlapping slightly and tucking the bacon at the end if needed. Sprinkle more Nashville or buffalo seasoning over top.
  • Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees. Place the poppers on the grate for 2 hours. Drizzle honey over the top during the last 15 minutes.
  • Let cool before serving. Drizzle more honey over top if desired.
