Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices bacon (thick-cut )
- 1 pound smoked sausage (like kielbasa, cut into 12 pieces about ½ inch thick)
- 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup cheddar cheese (shredded )
- 2 tablespoons jalapeños (finely diced )
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (packed)
- BBQ sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Cut each slice of bacon into thirds.
- Wrap a piece of bacon around each sausage slice, securing with a toothpick.
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and jalapeños until well combined.
- Spoon or pipe the cheese mixture into each bacon-wrapped sausage cup, filling generously.
- Sprinkle brown sugar over the filled cups for added flavor.
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
- Place the pig shots in the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry for about 10 minutes or until bacon is crispy and cheese is bubbling.
- Carefully remove the pig shots and serve with BBQ sauce.
Notes
Consider using different types of cheese for variety.
Serve fresh out of the air fryer for the best texture.
Experiment with spices to enhance the flavor.
