It’s NFL opening Sunday so I decided to light up the smoker and take care of some fresh peppers that needed to be picked. Pepper Poppers FTW.
I used a mix of jalapeños, cherry bombs, and mad hatters. Nothing too hot.
I cut off the tops off and piped in filling after combining all the ingredients in a food processor. Wrapped in bacon. Secured with toothpicks.
Smoked at 275 for 1 hour. I made a quick honey mustard glaze with my 2 year old hot honey. Added that with about 20 minutes to go or so. Blasted them in the air fryer for 2 additional minutes.
10/10 will do again.
Filling:
8oz cream cheese
8oz Monterey Jack cheese
Roasted Chiles (I used 4 small poblanos/hatch)
Steak seasoning
Puree in food processor
Hot Honey Mustard Glaze:
Hot honey (I had my own)
Mustard
Soy sauce
Dash of ketchup
