Instructions:

Step 1:

Cut the sausage about 1/2″ thick. To make the shot glasses, wrap one strip of bacon around the sausage slice. Secure it with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining sausages.

Step 2:

Add 1 block of cream cheese, 3/4 cup of shredded cheese, diced jalapeno, and 1 tablespoon of barbecue seasoning in a large bowl. Mix it all until well combined.

Step 3:

Transfer the mixture to a ziplock bag or piping bag. Grab one pig shot and squeeze it into the center. Repeat with the remaining pieces.

Step 4:

Sprinkle more of the bbq seasoning on top of the pig shots.

Step 5:

Set up your grill at around 275 to 300 degrees.

Step 6:

Add the pig shots onto the grill rack. You can add hickory wood to the coals for a little smoky flavor. Close the lid and cook for about 60 minutes.

Step 7:

Drizzle barbecue sauce on the pig shots while it’s still on the grill. Close the lid again and continue to cook for about 7 to 10 minutes to allow the sauce to set.

Step 8:

Remove the toothpicks and serve. Enjoy these yummy appetizers!
