Steps

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 350°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

  • 2

    In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, green chiles, shredded cheddar, chile powder, and Honey Hog BBQ Rub until well combined.

  • 3

    Slice the sausage into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Cut the bacon strips in half crosswise. Wrap a half-slice of bacon around each piece of sausage, securing with a toothpick, to create mini bowls.

  • 4

    Fill the bowls with the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle more Honey Hog BBQ Rub on top.

  • 5

    Arrange the pig shots, cream cheese side up, directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the bacon is crispy and golden brown, about 45-60 minutes.
