Instructions

Smoker Prep

Prepare your smoker at a temp of 350 degrees. I like hickory or pecan for this cook, but most woods will do.

Pig Shot Prep

Allow the cream cheese to soften. Mix cream cheese, chiles, shredded cheese, chili powder and Honey Hog thoroughly in a mixing bowl. Set aside. Slice sausage into 1/2-inch slices. Cut bacon strips in half. Wrap bacon around the sausage, creating a bowl and secure with a toothpick. Fill the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Top with more Honey Hog BBQ rub.

Cook the Pig Shots

Place the pig shots in the smoker until the bacon looks just right. Usually 45 - 60 minutes.

Cool, Serve and Enjoy!

Remove the pig shots from the grill and cool for at least 10 minutes as the cream cheese will be hot. Enjoy!
