Bacon wrapped Cream Cheese Peppers

One of my absolute favorite game day Traeger appetizers!

40 jalapeno peppers

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature

1 cup grated Cheddar, pepper Jack cheese, or mozzarella

1-1/2 teaspoons Traeger Pork and Poultry Rub (or your favorite spice blend)

2 tablespoons sour cream

20 slices smoked bacon, cut in half

Cut the stem ends off of Jalapeño and scrape the seeds and ribs out of each pepper (USE GLOVES).

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, grated cheese, Traeger Pork and Poultry Rub, and the sour cream.

Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag and trim 1/2-inch off one of the lower corners with a scissors.

Squeeze the cream cheese mixture into each pepper.

Wrap the outside of each with a piece of bacon, securing with 1 or 2 toothpicks.

Arrange the peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Smoke the peppers for 1 hour.

Increase the heat to 350 and continue to cook for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the bacon begins to render its fat and crisp.
