½ pound smoked brisket coarsely chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
4 ounces cream cheese softened
1 jalapeno seeds and membranes removed, diced
1 tablespoon Out Grilling SPG Seasoning or favorite all purpose seasoning salt

Instructions

Prepare a grill fire to 350° using hickory or pecan chunks for smoke flavor.

Add the chopped brisket and sautéed onions and mix until combined.
Spoon filling into onions.
Place over indirect fire onto the grill. Cook with the grill lid closed for 30 minutes or until onion shells are cooked through and filling is heated through.
