Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Fat Boy Premium All Purpose Rub
-
2 Tbsp Moo Moo Magic Brisket Rub & Seasoning by Southbound Barbecue
- 3 Tbsp Sweet Heat Grill & Wing Squeeze by Terrapin Ridge Farms
-
1 Tbsp Fat Boy Haugwaush Sauce
- 2 blocks Cream Cheese
- 3 Sausage Links (we like jalapeno cheddar sausage)
- 3 Jalapenos, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
- 3 Tbsp Green Onion, minced
Directions
- Preheat the smoker or grill to 275 °F.
- Prep the bacon cups. Slice sausage links about 1/2" thick. Cut bacon in half. Wrap the bacon around the sausage to form a cup (it will resemble a rose). Using toothpicks, set the cup in place, leaving about a 2” space for the filling. Season with Moo Moo Magic Brisket Rub & Seasoning by Southbound Barbecue.
- Smoke the cups at 275 °F for 45 minutes.
While the cups smoke, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl add two blocks of cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese, 1 Tbsp of Fat Boy Haugwaush Sauce, and 2 Tbsp Fat Boy Premium All Purpose Rub. Mix together and add to a zip lock or piping bag.
- Once the bacon cups have structure and color, remove the toothpicks.
- Cut the corner of the filling bag and pipe filling into cups. Add jalapeno slices to top. Smoke for another 15-20 minutes (until jalapeno is cooked).
- Garnish with Terrapin Ridge Farms Sweet Heat Sauce, and minced green onion. Enjoy!
