Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese 1 block
  • 1 Whole Jalapeno Finely Diced
  • 1/2 C Cheddar Cheese Shredded and Chopped Finely
  • 6 Strips Crispy Bacon Chopped
  • 40 Butter Crackers Ritz or Similar
  • BBQ Seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 225°F.
  • Place the cream cheese on a tray or parchment paper and score the top in a cross-hatch pattern.
  • Liberally coat the cream cheese with BBQ seasoning.
  • Smoke the cream cheese until warmed through and lightly golden on top, about 30 minutes.
  • While the cream cheese is smoking, cook the bacon on a baking sheet in the oven at 400°F until crispy, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Finely dice the jalapeno and shred and chop your cheddar cheese.
  • Once the smoked cream cheese is done, let it rest for 10 minutes. Combine the smoked cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, and jalapeno in a bowl and mix well.
  • Add the cheese mixture to a piping bag for easier assembly (optional). Spread or pipe a small amount onto a cracker, then top with another cracker to form a sandwich.
  • Return the filled crackers to the smoker for 10 minutes to warm and add extra smoke flavor (optional but highly recommended).
