- 2 jalapenos sliced
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 16 saltine crackers

Preheat the grill to 400° degrees for indirect heat.
Mix the filling by combining softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar, granulated garlic, salt and pepper until smooth.
Slice the bologna into 16 slices.
Layer the crackers by placing saltines on a grill-safe pan or piece of aluminum foil. Top each cracker with a slice of bologna.
Add the cheese mixture by spreading a spoonful over each piece of bologna.
Top with a jalapeño slice, leave the seeds in for a spicier kick/
Drizzle with BBQ sauce right over the top.
Grill for 8 to 10 minutes with the lid closed, just until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
Remove from the grill and serve right away.
Baking Instructions: Bake on a lined baking sheet in the oven at 350° for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Variations:
- Swap in pepper jack cheese for extra heat.
- Add cooked Petit Jean Meats bacon for a smoky, crispy layer.
Tip: Keep an eye on the crackers so they don’t over-toast on the grill.
