Weekend Cooking -- Pig Shots

Canvassed the forum last week for recipe input - took the plunge this week and prepared Pig Shots for an appetizer. Nothing real complex - just followed the steps outlined here. These things are over-the-top very good - if you like sausage, bacon, and Cream cheese. I put some fresh Jalepeno chunks in the cream cheese, topped with Brown Sugar and some homemade rub a friend gave to me.
One other note about prep. My standard "go-to" with larger groups for an appetizer has in the past been some variant of bacon wrapped jalepeno (insert filling here). This is so much less work assembling. Don't let the bacon strips get warmed up much. I used a piping bag for the filling. If I wanted 50+ appetizer servings - this would be the route I would go.

Noticed that once it started to warm, was much more difficult. Also - height of sausage is a factor, make sure it is at least halfway up the bacon.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeMOINK balls are bacon wrapped beef meatballs (usually the store bought frozen kind 1/2 oz ea size) dusted with rub, cooked in a similar fashion as the pig shots except they get dipped or brushed with BBQ sauce in the last few minutes. MOINK = "Moo" (beef meatball) + "Oink" (bacon).
They're definitely easier to prep than pig shots or ABTs. I prefer the range of flavors in pig shots better but these go very well as an appetizer. I haven't met a kid that didn't love them.
