Smoked Cream Cheese v2.0

Smoked Cream Cheese v2.0.

Bacon, Chives and Ranch Dip Mix on the inside with Everything Bagel Seasoning on the outside!

After being disappointed in my first smoked cream cheese attempt I had crossed it off of my to do list and moved on to other things.

TulsaJeff made a comment in one of his recent posts the made me take another look at this.

I started off by putting some bacon in the pan and frying that up.

After that was cooked and chopped I chopped up some chives and opened 2 packs of cream cheese, 2 cups of finely shredded cheese and 2 packs of Ranch Dip Mix.

I put everything in the mixer and gave it a whirl.

I used the boxes that the cream cheese came in and some similar sized wax paper to reform the mixture back into rectangle shape.

Kinda sorta but not perfect as it doesn't really matter.

Some Everything Bagel Seasoning dumped out on a plate and the blocks were coated on all sides.

Placed on a foil lined 1/4 sheet pan and into the smoker they went at 225F for two hours

WAY better results than just eating plain cream cheese. These made the trip over to the Party Garage and didn't last long!

Thanks for the inspiration Jeff!

Looks worthwhile and tasty. Now if I only could get a good Bagel here, I'd be set! For some things, ethnic diversity in Restaurants and Bagels, I do miss living in NJ. Nicely done....JJ

Perhaps you need to make your own bagels? I'm sure it has something to do with the water though.

Looks great!

For some things, ethnic diversity in Restaurants and Bagels, I do miss living in NJ.

I left NJ. when I was 18 (I'm now 56). The only thing I miss are some of the foods. Taylor ham, good Italian bread, good bagels, and good pizza (gluten started causing me issues a few years ago, so I'd now have to pass on the bread, bagels, and pizza, but I still miss them).
