If chili dogs and jalapeño poppers had a baby you would get these chili dog poppers— in a blanket! This easy grilled appetizer is made of cheese and chili filled jalapeños, stuffed with a little smokie sausage and wrapped in golden brown crescent dough. Perfect for game day, backyard BBQs and more!

Ingredients

  • 8 fresh jalapenos
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Colby Jack Cheese, Shredded
  • 1/4 cup canned chili (or homemade)
  • 1 package of lil smokies or cocktail sausages
  • Pit Boss Competition BBQ Rub
  • 1 package crescent roll dough
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

Tools

Directions

  • Preheat your grill or smoker to 225°F.
  • Slice a 1/2 inch off the tops and bottoms of your jalapeño peppers. Then cut lengthwise to split in half and remove seeds with a spoon.
  • In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, chili, and 1-2 tbsp of BBQ seasoning until mixed well. This will be your popper filling.
  • Fill each jalapeño half with a spoonful of filling and place a little smokie sausage in the center of it.
  • Cut each piece of crescent roll dough in half lengthwise (you should have 16 pieces total). Then wrap each filled jalapeño with a half of crescent roll dough, leaving both ends open. Brush the tops of each wrapped popper with melted butter.
  • Smoke the poppers directly on the grill grates at 225°F for 30 minutes. Then, increase your grill's temperature to 350°F and cook for another 20-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked all the way through.
