The latest episode of the Okie Smokin’ Podcast is here, and it’s packed with everything you need to make your 4th of July BBQ an unforgettable event.

We kick off with Dolores’s culinary masterpiece: bacon-wrapped jalapeno pickle poppers.

Made from mayo, dill pickle, mustard, white wine vinegar, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder, this sauce perfectly complements the smoky, cheesy goodness of the poppers.
