Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 2 jalapenos thinly sliced
  • 1.5 tsp mustard powder
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1.5 C half and half
  • 2 C gouda shredded
  • 6 oz Swiss and Gruyere shredded cheese
  • 1/2 C milk
  • 24 oz large elbow noodles

Instructions

  • Set your smoker to 225°F.
  • I used a competition blend of pellets.
  • In a aluminum pan (around 9 inch x 9 inch x 2 inch square pan) put your cream cheese, jalapenos, and seasonings.
  • Put in your smoker and cook for an hour or until the jalapenos start to get a wilted crispy look.
  • Cook your noodles according to the instructions on the packet, while the cream cheese mixture smokes.
  • Remove the cream cheese mixture from the smoker and add in the rest of your ingredients and cooked noodles to the pan, except for the swiss and gruyere cheese.
  • Mix all ingredients together thoroughly in the pan.
  • Once thoroughly mixed, top with the swiss and gruyere cheese and season with more salt and pepper to taste if desired.
  • Return to the smoker and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until desired crispiness.
  • ENJOY!
