Little Smokies Stuffed Jalapenos
Little Smokies Stuffed Jalapenos are a great bacon wrapped appetizer for the smoker or Traeger pellet grill, so easy and always a hit!
Equipment
- Traeger/Pellet Grill
- Smoker
Ingredients
- 30 jalapenos
- 1 8 ounce block cream cheese at room temp
- 1 cup shredded cheese of choice (I used Mexican blend)
- BBQ seasoning blend
- 30 Little Smokies or mini cocktail hot dogs
- 15 slices bacon cut in half
Instructions
- Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and scoop/ scrape out the seeds and white ribs.
- Put the cream cheese, shredded cheese, and some BBQ seasoning in a bowl. Stir until combined.Note: I had the best luck pressing the mixture together with the back of a spoon, it does take a few minutes to come together.
- Fill the jalapeno halves with the cream cheese mixture, top each with a little smokie, and wrap each with a half slice of bacon, overlapping slightly.
- Sprinkle more BBQ seasoning over top.
- Set the smoker or pellet grill to 250 degrees. Place the bacon wrapped jalapenos on the grill grate for about 2 hours, check toward the end of cooking and remove once the bacon is cooked how you prefer.
