Smokie Cheddar Poppers were a fun and easy recipe to make when we’re camping and we always bring our Green Mountain Grill Davy Crockett. We, of, course, have to have a grill with us and this little grill is a powerhouse for tailgating. Patti loves that the legs become the handle so either of us can carry it. We use little smokies sausages because they’re small, versatile sausages and these came stuffed with cheddar cheese. Patti added them to sweet peppers, more cheese and wrapped them with bacon.

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme.  Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

Cooking Directions: Smokie Cheddar Poppers

Gently slice down length of peppers being careful not to go all the way through. Remove seeds, if desired (Patti uses a melon baller). Stuff each pepper with 2 teaspoons of cheese. Place one sausage in center of cheese. Wrap with bacon and secure with toothpick.

Preheat your Grill Grates to 350* (177c) and put the peppers on for 40 minutes or until the bacon is done to your taste.
I use a Maverick ProTemp Instant Read Thermometer for checking meat temps.

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion and Do What You Love,
Ken & Patti
