Description

Next time you're firing up your smoker, add a block of cream cheese sprinkled with Cajun seasoning and you'll get a delicious appetizer spread.

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

Directions

1 Preheat an electric smoker to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C) according to manufacturers directions. I use apple wood chips for this but feel free to use wood chips of your choice.
2 Place a piece of foil on a clean work surface and position cream cheese on top of the foil. Sprinkle cream cheese with seafood seasoning. Using a knife, score the block of cream cheese so that the smoke can penetrate into the cheese.
3 Set foil directly onto the grate of the smoker and smoke for 1 1/2 hours.
