Directions
My Husband (Chef Terry) loves to smoke meat all year long, so its not surprising we use a lot of those meats in our recipes. This one we tried for the first time and it was delicious! Its very easy to make as you can Fry in oil, Air Fry or Bake in Oven. Anyway you make them they turn out crunchy on the outside and melty cheese on the inside.
