Ingredients

  • 16oz. smoked sausage
  • 24oz. Thick cut bacon
  • 11oz. Pimento cheese
  • ⚫ Toothpicks

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to 300°.
  • Slice the sausage into 1 to 1½-inch coins.
  • Cut the bacon slices in half.
  • Wrap a piece of bacon around each sausage coin to create a small "cup," then secure it with a toothpick, making sure the toothpick goes all the way through the sausage to hold everything in place.
  • Using a teaspoon, fill each bacon cup with pimento cheese.
  • Place the pig shots on a lightly greased rack.
  • Cook for 60-70 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the filling is bubbly.
  • Remove from the grill and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve warm.
