Smoked Banana Pepper Poppers 📸 @bacusbbq Ingredients: 3 banana peppers (whole) 6 oz cream cheese 3/4 cup shredded cheese 2 tbsp bbq seasoning of choice 6 slices thin cut bacon 1/4 cup bbq sauce of choice Directions: 1. Slice the banana peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds. 2. Mix the cream cheese, shredded cheese, and bbq seasoning. Fill each banana pepper half with the cheese mixture using a small spoon. Wrap each banana pepper half with 1 slice of bacon and place them on a wire rack. 3. Heat your smoker to 250 degrees F. Add wood of choice to smoke with. I use apple or pecan. Smoke the peppers for 15-30 minutes. 4. Remove the peppers from the smoker and then turn the heat up to 375 degrees F. Place the peppers back on the grill and bake until the bacon is crispy, around 30-45 minutes. 5. Smother the peppers with the bbq sauce and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from the grill, let cool for 5 minutes or so, and dig in. #recipe #bananapeppers #poppers #appetizer #smoked #creamcheese #grillingseason #bbqmonth #bbq #grilling #charcoal #kamado #kamadojoe
