Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Snake River Farms Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage Cut in to 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 package Snake River Farms Kurobuta Bacon Cut in half
  • 8 oz BLock of Cream Cheese Softened
  • 1/2 cup Mexican 4-Cheese Blend
  • 3 oz Diced Green Chilis
  • 3 Jalapenos Sliced thin
  • 1-2 Tbsp Lane's BBQ Spellbound BBQ Rub
  • 1-2 Tbsp Lane's BBQ Southbound BBQ Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Cut the sausage links in to ½-inch discs. Cut the bacon in half. Wrap ½ slice of bacon around the sausage disc and secure with a toothpick. 
  • Place the cream cheese in to a medium sized bowl, mix in the cheese blend, BBQ rub, and diced chiles. Put the cream cheese mixture in to a Ziploc bag. Cut the corner off the bag and use it to pipe in the cheese mixture in to the sausage bacon cups. Top each cup with a slice of jalapeno.
  • Use some more BBQ rub to top off the bacon cups.
  • Preheat your @biggreenegg to 300°F setup for indirect cooking. Place a chunk of smoking wood in with the coals to add some smoke flavor.
  • Place the pig shots inside and let cook until the bacon is rendered and crisp. This took me about 90 minutes.
  •  Remove the pig shots and drizzle some of that Lane's BBQ Southbound sauce all over the top of each piece
