How to Make Atomic Buffalo Bites

  1. Preheat your smoker or grill to medium heat.
  2. Prepare the peppers: Cut off the tops of 6 large jalapeños (or your pepper of choice). Remove seeds and membranes for less heat; leave some in for extra spice!
  3. In a bowl, mix together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of cooked and crumbled ground beef (or your preferred cooked meat - chicken, sausage, etc.), and 1 tablespoon of your favorite buffalo wing sauce.
  4. Fill each pepper with the cream cheese mixture. For extra heat, add a thin slice of habanero or serrano pepper to each.
  5. Wrap each pepper with 1/2 slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  6. Place the peppers on the smoker or grill. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the peppers are tender.
