Smoked Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Hot Dogs | Epic BBQ Recipe!

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon reduces fat while still providing flavor.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: bell peppers

💰Cheaper: banana peppers

Bell peppers offer a milder flavor and are often less expensive.

barbecue sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup

Homemade sauce can be lower in sugar and preservatives.

Mix cream cheese and a handful of four cheese Mexican blend in a bowl.

Chop pickled jalapeños and add to the cheese mixture.

Slice hot dogs lengthwise without cutting all the way through.

Stuff the hot dogs with the cream cheese mixture.

Wrap each stuffed hot dog with two strips of bacon and secure with toothpicks.

Sprinkle barbecue rub on the outside of the bacon-wrapped hot dogs.

Place the hot dogs in the smoker and cook at 325°F until bacon is rendered and hot dogs are cooked through.

Apply honey barbecue glaze before finishing cooking.
