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.
-
Grocery list is made. Will be trying these this week for Christmas. Can't wait and thanks for all the advice & ideas.
-
No ratio, room temp cream cheese and I just add another grated cheese._________________________________________________Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story!Large BGE 2006, Mini Max 2014, 36" Blackstone, Anova Sous Vide

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?

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....Remember that grilling is more than preparing food… It’s time with family and friends, it’s your heritage and childhood memories….

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

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.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

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.

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.

If it's worth doing, do it low and slow.
