For this edition of Backyard Bosses, a Pit Boss original Youtube series, BBQ By Mazie shows us how to make 2 quick and easy Game Day appetizers. Watch the video here .
Cheesy & Spicy Jalapeño Popper Dip
Fuel your crew at halftime with this crowd-pleasing game day dip! Cheesy, spicy, and most importantly smoky, this dip is perfect for crowds of 2 or crowds of 20. Baked on a wood pellet grill, this recipe is easy to prep and even easier to cook.
First, preheat your pellet grill or smoker to 400°F
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and BBQ Rub. Then, incorporate in your cheddar cheese, Monterey cheese, and 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese. Pro tip: Use a hand mixer for a light, fluffy consistency.
Fold in your can of jalapeños. Then, pour entire mixture into a cast iron skillet or other oven-safe dish like a foil pan.
To make the topping, in a small bowl, combine melted butter, bread crumbs, remaining parmesan cheese, and 1/2 tsp of BBQ rub. Spread topping evenly over the dip.
Place dish inside smoker at 400°F and let smoke for 20 minutes.
Serve with crackers of choice (BBQByMazie recommends Ritz crackers) and enjoy!
Recipe Note
We recommend using a Pit Boss cast iron skillet to bake this dish in. The cast iron will also help keep the dip warm when you're ready to serve it up.
