Ingredients

  • 8 ounce block of cream cheese
  • 1-2 tablespoons your favorite BBQ rub
  • 8 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 4 ounce jar of pimentos drained
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ ounce fresh chives diced fine
  • salt and pepper to taste depends on your BBQ rub

Instructions

  • Set up your smoker for low heat (200° or less)
  • Using a sharp knife, cross hatch the cream cream and season with your favorite BBQ rub. Place immediately on the smoker on the foil that it is wrapped in. Smoke for 60 minutes.
  • Afterwards, place the smoked cream cheese in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients, except the salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
  • Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning.
  • This can be eaten right away but it's much better if you put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, airtight. This will give time for the flavors to marry and to firm up the mixture.
