Smoked Texas Twinkies

Ingredients

• 1 cup smoked brisket (recipe link in notes section)
• 12 large jalapeños (seeds removed)
• 12 slices bacon
• 1 8-ounce package cream cheese (softened)
• 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• ¼ cup Hey Grill Hey Sweet Rub (recipe and store links in notes section)
• ½ cup Hey Grill Hey Texas Style BBQ Sauce (recipe and store links in notes section)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the smoker. Set your smoker to 275 degrees F with your favorite hardwood.

2. 2

   Prepare the jalapeños. Slice a T-shape into your jalapeños, then remove the seeds.

3. 3

   Stuff the jalapeños. Combine your smoked and chopped brisket, cream cheese, sharp cheddar, and 1 Tablespoon of the Sweet Rub in a large bowl. Use a rubber spatula to stir everything together, then scoop into your sliced jalapeños. You want the jalapeños full, but still able to close. Once filled, wrap each jalapeño completely with a slice of bacon. Sprinkle the bacon with the remaining Sweet Rub.

4. 4

   Smoke the Twinkies. Place the bacon-wrapped Twinkies on the grates of your smoker, close the lid, and smoke for about 90 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked. Optional: baste with Texas Style BBQ Sauce after 60 minutes and continue cooking for the last 30 minutes.

5. 5

   Serve and enjoy. Remove the smoked Twinkies to a serving platter to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with your favorite BBQ sauce or enjoy as-is.
