Ingredients

Servings
  • 6 large jalapeño chillies
  • 100 g cream cheese
  • 50 g grated mature cheddar
  • 6 cocktail sausages or mini smokies
  • 6 rashers streaky bacon
  • 2 tsp BBQ rub
  • Hickory wood

Method

  1. 1

    Halve the jalapeños lengthways and scrape out the seeds and membranes (wear gloves).

  2. 2

    Mix the cream cheese and cheddar, then fill each jalapeño half.

  3. 3

    Press a cocktail sausage into the filling of half of them, if using.

  4. 4

    Wrap each stuffed half in a rasher of streaky bacon and secure with a cocktail stick.

  5. 5

    Dust with BBQ rub.

  6. 6

    Smoke at 120°C (250°F) over hickory until the bacon is crisp and the peppers have softened — about 1½–.

  7. 7

    Cool for before serving (the filling is molten).

Notes

  • Leave some membrane in for more heat, remove it all for mild.
  • Don't smoke too hot or the bacon firms before the pepper softens.
