Smoked Chili Cheese Dog Sauce

Ingredients: •4 oz cream cheese, softened •1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (or choose from the alternatives below) •1/2 cup heavy cream •1 tablespoon Rave BBQ Rubs Smokey Buffalo rub •1 tablespoon unsalted butter •1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for extra flavor) •Salt and pepper to taste Alternative Cheeses to Use: •Smoked Gouda: Adds a deep, smoky richness to the sauce. •Monterey Jack: Great for melting, it creates a smooth, creamy texture. •Colby Jack: Provides a balanced, mild flavor that complements the BBQ rub. •Pepper Jack: For extra heat, add some pepper jack cheese. •Gruyère: Adds a nutty flavor with a smooth melt. Instructions: 1. Prepare Your Grill: •Preheat your grill to around 225°F. For a smoky flavor, consider using a grill with wood or charcoal, which will lightly infuse the sauce with smoke. Hickory, applewood, or mesquite are excellent wood choices if your grill allows for them. 2. Melt the Butter: •Place a cast-iron skillet or an oven-safe pan directly on the grill grates. Add the unsalted butter to the pan and let it melt, about 5 minutes. 3. Infuse the Flavor: •Stir the Rave BBQ Rubs Smokey Buffalo rub and garlic powder (if using) into the melted butter. Let this cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the rub and release its smoky spices. 4. Add the Cream Cheese: •Cut the cream cheese into small chunks and add it to the pan on the grill. Stir frequently as it melts into the butter mixture. 5. Add the Cream: •Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Adjust the cream amount to reach your desired sauce thickness. 6. Add the Shredded Cheese: •Gradually add the shredded cheese (cheddar, gouda, Monterey Jack, etc.) to the pan, stirring frequently until it melts evenly. This should take about 5-10 minutes, depending on the amount of cheese used. 7. Stir and Season: •Once the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed. The Smokey Buffalo rub should provide a robust flavor, but adjust as desired. 8. Serve: •Once the sauce is creamy and fully blended, remove the pan from the grill. Pour the cheese sauce over your chili cheese dogs for a smoky, creamy finish! Tips for Grilling the Sauce: •Use a Cast-Iron Skillet or Heavy-Duty Pan: A cast-iron skillet or study aluminium pan will distribute heat evenly and prevent scorching. •Keep the Grill Lid Closed: Close the lid during cooking to maintain a steady temperature and infuse a consistent smoky flavor. •Stir Occasionally: Stir every few minutes to ensure even melting and prevent separation. This cheese sauce, with its touch of smoky flavor from the grill, will take your chili cheese dogs to a whole new level!
