Directions

Preheat smoker to 250F – Big Poppa used his Stainless Steel DIY Drum Smoker for this recipe

Get your cast iron pan ready – see photos for reference to how Big Poppa built all the ingredients into the pan! Don’t be afraid to play around with the ingredients, if you want more meat, more jalapeños, or less onions, it’s up to you!

Chunk some of the Chairman’s Reserve Brisket and put into pan (about 1/8 of pan)

Add Pepper Jack Cheese (about 1/8 of pan), Velveeta (about 1/4 of pan, see photos for reference!), diced onion (about 1/8 of pan), pinto beans (about 1/8 of pan), Pico de Gallo(about 1/8 of pan) to the pan, then add small amount of queso fresco to middle along with the diced jalapeño.

Put the loaded pan on your smoker and smoke for 45min at 250F, then stir and let smoke for another 15 min.

Caution: the pan will be hot! Once done, carefully remove from the smoker, and serve immediately with thick tortilla chips.
