Atomic buffalo turds are bacon wrapped jalapeños that have been filled with cream cheese and little smokies, for one tasty bite. These are really delicious and make the perfect bbq appetizer.
Ingredients you will need for this recipe are delightfully uncomplicated, making it a breeze to prepare this scrumptious appetizer:
- Jalapeño peppers
- Cream cheese
- Little Smokies
- BBQ Rub
- Slices of bacon

To craft smoked atomic buffalo turds, start by removing the tops of jalapeños and cutting them lengthwise. Clear out the seeds using your finger or a spoon, wearing gloves to shield your hands from jalapeño juices.
In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese with your preferred BBQ rub, stirring until well blended. Spread this cream cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, using a butter knife or a pastry bag for a neater application.
Place one little Smokey on top of the cream cheese in each jalapeño half. Wrap each jalapeño with a half slice of bacon, ensuring the top of the little Smokey sticks out on the ends. Opt for thick-cut bacon for a heartier bite, or thin-cut for crispier results.

Fire up your smoker to 250°F and smoke the jalapeños on indirect heat for approximately 1.5 hours. Increase the temperature to 350°F and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes or until the bacon reaches desired crispiness. Keep a close eye on them, especially around the 2-hour mark, to achieve soft jalapeños and warm, creamy cream cheese.

Indulge in the ultimate BBQ appetizer delight with these Smoked Atomic Buffalo Turds!
