When I first learned of these from the Brethren, I knew it was something I was gonna have to try, so I added them to the meal plans for yesterday.
I picked up six FAT jalapenos from the grocery store produce case and cut the tops off...
I sliced each pepper lengthwise...
I cleaned out the core, seeds and deveined as much as I could... I ordered a tool to perform this task that will hopefully make it a little easier next time around...
I loaded them with some cream cheese that I had left sitting out on the counter for several hours to soften up...
I used some Hillshire Farms litle smokies...
Wrapped them up with some bacon and skewered with toothpicks...
Tossed them on the kettle over indirect heat with some apple wood on the charcoal...
I let them ride for 90 minutes or so around 275 degrees... they were awesome!
