Equipment

  • Wood: Hickory

Ingredients

  • 12 medium jalapeno peppers
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 12 slices bacon sliced in half

Instructions

  • Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees F.
  • Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and membranes inside with a spoon. It’s best to wear gloves to do this.
  • Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder to a bowl and mix well.
  • Fill each jalapeno pepper half with the cheese mixture, and distribute evenly in the pepper halves.
  • Wrap each jalapeno with a slice of bacon. Use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place.
  • Transfer the peppers to the preheated smoker and smoke them for 1-2 hours, or until the peppers soften and the bacon is starting to crisp. You can place them under a broiler for a couple of minutes if you need to.
  • Remove, cool slightly, and serve.
