Ingredients
- 12 ounces smoked sausage
- 1 pound thick-cut bacon
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup Diced jalapeño
- 1 teaspoon barbecue rub seasoning
- ⅓ cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon real maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You may add a baking rack to the pan if desired, just give it a light spray with pan spray.
- Slice 12 ounces smoked sausage into about 24 slices, or double the amount of bacon slices you have.
- Cut 1 pound thick-cut bacon in half. Roll each sausage round up in a slice of bacon so the edge of the bacon matches up with the bottom edge of the sausage. Use a toothpick skewered through the bacon and entire piece of sausage to secure the two together. The result should look like a cup.
- Set the little cups on the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
- Make the filling by combining 8 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ cup diced jalapeno, and 1 teaspoon barbecue rub seasoning. Scoop the filling into a large ziplock bag, snip the corner, and squeeze the filling into the cups until they are nearly full. Don’t overfill them! The filling will expand as it bakes.
- If desired, place sliced jalapeños on top of some or all of the pig shots.
- Make the glaze by combining ⅓ cup barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon real maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a small bowl.
- Brush the tops of the pig shots with the glaze and bake for 35-45 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and rendered. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. I recommend removing the toothpicks before serving.
