Bring on the warm sunshine and weekends!! Also, let’s bring back parties and entertaining at full capacity with no restrictions. I miss that life!
My husband loves his Green Mountain smoker, and just like the Instant pot, it isn’t my jam… but I will be his sous chef all day. Just wish I had a sous chef when I cook! Anyways, getting off track. Smoker, meats and jalapeño poppers! Always a crowd favorite! Pretty easy to put together, just need an hour or so to get the cream cheese to room temperature. And then the 2 to 2.5 hours to cook. Easy-peezy!
It’s funny, the last handful of times that we have made these, we (I) have forgotten to either buy, or actually put in the little smokies. Either way, still a big hit and still delicious!
