The weather this weekend was just too damn nice to stay inside so I had to fire up the smoker. Picked up some hefeweizen, a rack of beef ribs, some corn & some jalapenos to stuff.
Dry rub:
3 Tbsp kosher salt
3 Tbsp chile powder (ancho in this case, friends don't care much for heat)
1 Tbsp fresh black pepper
1 Tbsp granulated garlic
2 tsp chipotle powder
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp cumin
Jalapeno popper stuffing:
2 8oz packages of cream cheese
1 package dry ranch dressing mix
Shredded cheese (add to taste)
Juice of 1 lemon
+
1 pack of bacon cut into 1/2s or 1/3rd strips
1 box of toothpicks
Just set the cream cheese out for a bit to soften then mix all the ingredients together. Cut jalapenos in half, stuff with mix, wrap in half a piece of bacon & bake at 400 degrees for ~30 min or until bacon is crisp. For better poppers, throw them on the smoker and wait about 4 hours.
My assistant helping me get the fire started:
Ribs rubbed down & just put on the smoker:
Smoking some corn too:
Jalapenos stuffed & waiting on bacon:
Corn & oven baked poppers are done:
The limited edition smoked poppers. I'd do them all this way if I had more room:
HOLY CRAP THAT SMELLS GOOD:
Ribs finally finished:
Turned out pretty damn good for my first go at beef ribs:
Edit: til the bacon is CRISP not soft. I need a beer.
