BBQ Triple Pig Shots is a great appetizer or game day snack recipe with three types of pork and cheesy goodness, bake in the oven or Traeger pellet grill
- 1 pound smoked sausage
- 10 slices thick cut bacon
- 1 pound leftover BBQ pulled pork chopped into small bits
- 1 8 oz container cream cheese at room temp
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon BBQ seasoning (plus more to sprinkle over top)
- Optional: jalapeno slices
-
Slice the smoked sausage (about half inch thick and you should get around 20 slices total) and cut the bacon in half.
-
Wrap each 1/2 slice 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.
-
In a bowl put the BBQ pulled pork, cream cheese, BBQ sauce, and BBQ seasoning. Mix until evenly combined. Taste for seasoning and add more BBQ sauce or seasoning if needed.
-
Fill each pig shot with the BBQ filling, I had the best luck rolling some with my hands and dropping into each pig shot.
-
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.
-
Let cool before serving, top each with a jalapeno slice if desired.
