Brisket Pimento Jalapeno Poppers

Smoky, cheesy, and just the right amount of spice —Bear Mountain ambassador Nick Nesgoda brings us these Brisket Pimento Jalapeño Poppers that are the ultimate appetizer. Fresh jalapeños are stuffed with a rich blend of creamy pimento cheese and tender chopped brisket, then smoked low and slow over Tailgating BBQ pellets until perfectly tender. A drizzle of hot honey over the top ties it all together with a touch of sweetness that balances the heat. These poppers are bold, flavorful, and guaranteed to disappear fast whenever you put them out.
