Pig Shots

Ingredients

1 pound smoked sausage, cut into ¾ inch chunks

12 ounces thick cut bacon

4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

1/4 cup sour cream

1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced

1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

1/4 cup barbecue sauce 

2 tablespoons honey

1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar

Jalapeno slices

Directions

Preheat oven to 375.

In a small bowl, mix barbecue sauce, honey and brown sugar. Set aside.

Cut bacon in half and wrap each piece of smoked sausage with a strip of bacon. Use a toothpick to hold together. Place on a baking sheet.

In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, diced jalapeno, sharp cheddar cheese and seasoning together until combined. Add mixture to a quart size baggie and clip the corner. Squeeze cheese mixture onto the top of each sausage. Add a sliced jalapeno on the top. Brush each pig shot with the honey BBQ mixture.

Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
