    Any suggestions for the cream cheese/cheese mix?  Is there a ratio you shoot for?  Also how do you soften the cream cheese?  Room temperature?

    I like to mix in some goat cheese and green chilis into the filling.

    No ratio, room temp cream cheese and I just add another grated cheese.

    What would be the best way to reheat these if I wanted to make them a day ahead of time to take them to an event?

    I love this!  Gonna make these asap for when we are tired of ABT''s.

    I'm glad there are some new posts on this, as I have never got around to making these yet (shame on me). An earlier comment made me laugh ... (above), been making ABTs for years now, not for a second have I got tired of them...

    I agree...this is going to the top of my to do list.  I was thinking as long as I have bacon and cream cheese I could make some ABTs along side them. 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    A variation I make to the basic recipe idea is I cap the cheese in the Pig Shot with a thin slice of pepperoni.  I call it my coin flip as it adds yet another taste flip to this already artery blocking snack!

    I have done these numerous times and use the Rothchild Dirty Martini Mix with 1 tub cream cheese... They are a show stopper for sure... if you go to Rothchilds website look under dealer locater you will find it....

    A little Sunday afternoon snack. Ran short on the cream cheese in a few of them, and used chunk of pepper jack cheese instead

    Do you use a whole piece of bacon and just keep wrapping it around?  I struggled trying to get the bacon to stand up for me to place the cheese. Would it better to leave the sausage frozen ?

    1/2 piece of bacon works.  Thinner bacon crisps quicker than thick but doesn’t stand up as well as thick cut.  The filling shouldn’t help the bacon stand up better than when empty.

    Shouldn't?  Or should?
    I use a ziploc, cut the corner off and stick it inside the floppy bacon and pipe the filling in so it comes "bottom up" which holds the bacon up nicely. Spoons make this much harder in my experience.

    Should.  Apparently I need stronger coffee.  :s

    I made a batch of these for an FFL draft last night, and people raved about them. They are absolutely delicious. Will definitely put these on the rotation. 

    To confirm, thick cut bacon is the way to go. I used a piping bag for the filling, but a Ziplock would also work great. They cooked for me at about 300 for just at 60 minutes for the desired result.

    Again, these are a winner. Please try them, but make a lot. They are real crowd pleasers.
