🔥Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prep the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to 250°F using a mild wood like cherry or apple for a subtle, sweet smoke. -
Wrap the Lil Smokies
Cut each bacon strip in half. Wrap each Lil Smokie with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. -
Season and Sweeten
Arrange the wrapped Smokies on a wire rack or foil-lined tray. Sprinkle evenly with Blazing Star All-in-One Rub and a light coating of brown sugar. -
Add the Cream Cheese
Score the top of the cream cheese block in a crisscross pattern and season it with All-in-One Rub. Place it on a small foil tray or cast-iron pan. -
Smoke Everything Together
Place both the Smokies and cream cheese in the smoker. Smoke for 1½ hours, or until the bacon is browned and crisp. -
Glaze for Perfection
In the last 10 minutes, brush the Smokies with Blazing Star Asian Bang Sauce to create a sweet-spicy glaze. -
Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the smoker and serve the Smokies hot, with the Smoked Cream Cheese as a dip or spread on crackers.
💡Pro Tips
- Use a wire rack so the bacon crisps evenly and doesn’t sit in grease.
- Chill cream cheese before scoring, it keeps its shape better while smoking.
- Adjust heat level by adding Blazing Star Reaper Rub for extra kick.
- Double batch alert, these go fast at every party!
