• 12 large jalapeños
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
• 2 tbsp chopped green onion
• 1 tsp BBQ rub
• 12 thin bacon slices, halved
• ⅓ cup Dillightful BBQ Sauce
• 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the smoker to 275°F. Halve the jalapeños lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes; leave some membrane for extra heat.

2. 2

   Mix cream cheese, cheddar, green onion and rub until evenly combined.

3. 3

   Fill each pepper half without overstuffing, then wrap with half a bacon slice and place seam-side down.

4. 4

   Smoke 35–50 minutes until the pepper softens and the bacon is browned. Increase the heat to 350°F if the bacon needs crisping.

5. 5

   Mix sauce with honey, brush lightly over the poppers and cook 5–10 minutes more. Cool several minutes before serving.
