This Appetizer Is NOT for the Faint of Heart!

This easy smoked cream cheese appetizer packs bacon, cheddar, and jalapeños into one seriously flavorful bite! Just a few ingredients and about 40 minutes on the grill make this an easy addition to your game day spread. Not into spicy food? Swap the jalapeños for green onions for a savory twist, or try dried cranberries for a little sweetness! INGREDIENTS: • 2 blocks cream cheese, 8 oz each • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese • 6–7 strips cooked bacon, chopped • 2 teaspoons your favorite BBQ rub, adjusted to taste - diced jalapeños (I used 1/block of cream cheese) • Optional: diced candied jalapeños on top Cook at 350°F for about 40 minutes. The finished texture was light and slightly crumbly, with a creamy richness that almost reminded me of cheesecake! Want a prettier presentation than mine? I recommend putting yours in a small cast-iron skillet before cooking to help it hold its shape and make serving easier. The Z Grills handled another easy appetizer cook!
