Football season is getting closer - starting to focus more on cooking.....

I want to make Pig Shots for an appetizer this weekend.   I saw the recipe for the filling a few months ago - but cannot find the post.

Have tried searching - found pics of them - but not enough to help with the filling options.

Can someone assist?

Thanks

    Do a google search for "pig shots" as there are many, many different combinations for fillings. Cream cheese is about the only thing the same in all of them.

    thank you so much - just what I was looking for.

    I promise - will post pics.    Egg'n has been sporadic at best the last couple of months - behind on posting pics.

    My last attempt I used a combination of goat cheese, cheddar, cumin and chili powder.  They turn out great.  That is what we had on hand in the frig.

    I tried to make these a couple of weeks ago.  Be sure to buy good quality, lean and thick bacon.  All I had on hand was breakfast bacon and it was too thin and fatty.

    I plan on making these again for football season as well.  Good luck.
