Preheat your smoker to 225°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, diced jalapeños, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Transfer the mixture into a cast-iron skillet or an oven-safe dish.
Place the dish in the smoker and let it smoke for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the dish from the smoker and stir the dip to ensure even consistency.
Serve warm with chips, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.
For a spicier dip, add more diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Use a mix of cheeses for a more complex flavor profile.
Make sure to preheat your smoker to ensure even cooking.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes, you can use any cheese that melts well, such as Monterey Jack, Gouda, or a mix of cheeses.
What can I serve with smoked cheese dip?
You can serve it with tortilla chips, crackers, breadsticks, or fresh vegetables like celery and carrots.
Can I make this dip ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dip mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it. Smoke it just before serving for the best flavor.
How do I store leftovers?

Can I make this dip without a smoker?
Yes, you can bake it in the oven at 350°F until the cheese is melted and bubbly, but you will miss the smoky flavor.
