Step

  • 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.

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

    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.
