Instructions
- Prepare the rub by mixing the rub ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese with the rest of the cream cheese filling ingredients. Transfer to a medium Ziploc bag and refrigerate. Just before filling, cut off one corner making a 3/4" opening. You can also use a piping bag with a 3/4" tip.
- Make bacon 'cups' by wrapping bacon strips around sausage slices and securing them with toothpicks.
- Place a slice of jalapeno pepper at the bottom of each cup and drizzle about 1/2 tsp of maple syrup.
- Fill the cups with the filling and sprinkle the rub generously on top.
- Smoke with cherry, pecan or hickory smoke at 250F - 275F for 60-80 minutes, or until the bacon crisps up and acquires a nice color, and the tops are dark golden brown.
- Serve hot, garnished with thin slices of jalapeno pepper and green onion.
