Ingredients
- 4 lices Bacon thick-cut
- 1 pound smoked sausage like kielbasa, cut into 12 pieces about ½ inch thick
- 1 cup cream cheese softened
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 tablespoons jalapeños finely diced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
- BBQ sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Cut each bacon slice into thirds. Wrap a piece of bacon around the circumference of each sausage slice, forming a small cup. Secure with a toothpick to keep the bacon in place.
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeños. Mix until well combined.
- Spoon or pipe the cheese mixture into each bacon-wrapped sausage cup. The cheese should fill the cup and can mound slightly above the rim of the bacon.
- Sprinkle brown sugar over the filled cups to enhance their flavor.
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Place the pig shots in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbly.
- Carefully remove the pig shots from the air fryer. Serve with BBQ sauce on the side.

Notes
- Use thick-cut bacon to make sure the cups hold their shape.
- Soften the cream cheese fully for a smooth and easy-to-mix filling.
- Preheat the air fryer for even cooking and crispier results.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure the bacon gets crispy.
- Use a piping bag for easier filling of the cheese mixture into the bacon cups.
