Ingredients
- 12 fresh jalapeño peppers
- 12 slices of bacon
- 24 little smokies
- 1 package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- Smokey Kansas City All-Purpose Barbecue Seasoning (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the jalapeños: Cut each jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes to make room for the filling. Set aside.
- Mix the filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, paprika, and cayenne pepper until well blended.
- Stuff the jalapeños: Spoon a small amount of the cream cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, spreading it evenly. Place one little smoky sausage on top of the cream cheese in each jalapeño.
- Wrap with bacon: Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half with a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary to hold the bacon in place.
- Season: Sprinkle each bacon-wrapped jalapeño with Smokey Kansas City All-Purpose Barbecue Seasoning, coating them for a smoky barbecue flavor.
- Grilling option: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the ABTs on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the jalapeños are tender.
- Oven option: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the ABTs on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these smoky, spicy, creamy bites hot off the grill or straight from the oven!
