Total time: 1 h 20 min
Yield: 15 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 (14 oz) link smoked sausage; 1 lb thick-cut bacon; 8 oz cream cheese; 1/4 cup sour cream; 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese; 1 (4 oz) can diced jalapeños; 1 tbsp barbecue rub; 1 jalapeño, sliced into rounds for topping; 1/4 cup maple syrup; 2 tbsp honey; 2 tbsp bourbon

1

Slice the smoked sausage into 1-inch thick rounds.

2

Wrap each sausage slice with a half-slice of cold, thick-cut bacon, ensuring the bacon stands up higher than the sausage to create a cup. Secure the bacon with a toothpick.

3

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, and your favorite barbecue rub. Mix until well combined.

4

Transfer the cheese mixture to a large zip-top bag. Snip off one corner to create a piping bag.

5

Pipe the cheese filling into each bacon-wrapped sausage cup.

6

Top each pig shot with a slice of fresh jalapeño.

7

Place the pig shots on a smoker or grill over indirect heat (or in an oven or air fryer). Cook until the bacon is crispy.

8

While the pig shots are cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, honey, and bourbon.

9

Once the bacon is crispy, brush the glaze over the top of each pig shot.

10

Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes for the glaze to set. Remove from the grill, let cool slightly, and serve.
