Ingredients

8 dill pickle spears
4 slices bacon cut in half
1 Tablespoon Signature Sweet Rub or Homemade Veggie Shake - recipe in comments

Homemade Ranch

½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2-3 Tablespoons Fish and Veggie Rub recipe in notes

Instructions

Preheat the smoker. Preheat your smoker to 275 degrees F with your favorite hardwood.
Wrap the pickles. Wrap each pickle spear in one of the bacon pieces. Secure tightly with toothpicks.
Season with Sweet Rub. Season the bacon wrapped pickle spears with Sweet Rub (or Homemade Veggie Shake) lightly on all sides.
Smoke the bacon wrapped pickles. Place the bacon wrapped pickles directly on the grates of your preheated smoker and close the lid. Smoke for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how crispy you like your bacon. If you want even more crunch on your bacon, you can broil your bacon wrapped pickle spears for 2-3 minutes after they come off of the smoker.
Make the homemade ranch. Combine all ingredients for the homemade ranch in a medium bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve. You can thin out the dip with 2-3 Tablespoons of buttermilk for a salad-style dressing to drizzle if desired.
Remove from heat and serve. Serve with ranch dressing or your favorite BBQ sauce for an awesome appetizer or snack.
