Cheesy Caramelized Onion Pig Shots can be smoked or cooked in the oven, thick bacon stuffed with caramelized onion cheese dip
- 1 pound smoked sausage
- 10 slices thick cut bacon
- 20 toothpicks
- 2 cups caramelized onion cheese dip (store bought or recipe link in post above)
-
Slice the smoked sausage (about half inch thick and you should get around 20 slices total) and cut the bacon in half.
-
Wrap each piece of bacon around each sausage slice, attempting to make each look like a shot glass with the sausage as the bottom. Put a toothpick through where the bacon overlaps, through the bacon and into the sausage.
-
Fill each with the caramelized onion cheese dip.
Note: This works best if it is cold or at room temperature.
-
Cook according to one of these methods:
Traeger/ Pellet Grill: Set the temperature to 350 degrees and place the pig shots on the grate for 45 minutes to 1 hour (keep an eye on them and remove when the bacon is done to your liking).
Oven: Cook in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour on a wire baking rack over a baking sheet.
