  • 5 Servings
  • 20 minutes Prep Time
  • 45 minutes Cook Time

An easy snack to make and take with you wherever you end up: Camping, The Beach, or A Tailgate. And what's better than peppers, smoked sausage, and cheese wrapped in bacon?

Ingredients

  • 15 Strips of Bacon
  • Smoked Sausage
  • Sharp Cheddar Cheese Chunks
  • 2 Jalapenos
  • Pit Boss Sweet Heat Rub
  • Pit Boss Kentucky Whiskey Barrel BBQ Sauce (For Dipping)

Directions

  • Preheat your Pit Boss Grill to 300°F
  • While your grill is preheating, cut your cheese into 1-inch by 1-inch squares.
  • Next, slice the jalapenos into 1/4-inch round slices, slice the sausage into 1/4-inch round slices, and cut each strip of bacon in half.
  • Once everything is prepped, place the bacon strips down two at a time in a cross pattern.
  • Then, lay down a piece of sausage, a chunk of cheese, and a sliced jalapeno onto the crossed bacon strips. Fold the bacon over the layered ingredients, and secure with a toothpick.
  • Season with Pit Boss Sweet Heat Rub on all sides before placing them directly on the grates of your preheated smoker.
  • Smoke for about 20 minutes, then transfer “these” to an oven-save container, and smoke for another 25 minutes.
  • After a total cooking time of 45 minutes, remove “these” from your smoker and let cool.
  • Serve with a side of BBQ Sauce and enjoy!
