Ingredients

Servings

12

Jalapenos

1

Block Softened Cream Cheese

1

cup Shredded Colby Jack Cheese

1

lb Mild Breakfast Sausage

12

Slices of Bacon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your smoker to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. We used Cowboy Charcoal’s Lump Charcoal.

Step 2

Put your gloves on to protect your skin from the heat of the peppers.

Step 3

Start by slicing the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the membranes and seeds.

Step 4

Place the mild breakfast sausage in a skillet and break it up. Cook on medium heat until browned. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and blot with a paper towel to remove excess grease.

Step 5

In a pan or medium sized bowl, combine the ground sausage, Crove Food Co Fajita Seasoning & Rub, cream cheese, and shredded Colby jack cheese. Using your hands or a large spoon mix it all together. This is the filling for the Jalapeno Poppers.

Use a spoon to scoop the filling into jalapeno halves. Repeat until all the jalapenos are filled.

Step 7

Slice your bacon in half with a knife.

Step 8

Roll a half of a piece of bacon tightly around one Jalapeno Popper from top to bottom.

Step 9

Place the Jalapeno Poppers on a smoker for about 60 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy!
