For extra flavor, consider using a smoked cream cheese. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membranes from all the jalapenos. These can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving. A sprinkle of smoked paprika before baking adds a lovely smoky note.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, Cajun seasoning, and sour cream. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
StepCarefully seed and finely chop one jalapeno. Add it to the cheese mixture and stir until everything is well combined. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04
StepTransfer the cheese mixture into a large zip-top bag. Snip off one corner of the bag to create a makeshift piping bag. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
05
StepPipe approximately 2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture onto each sausage piece. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
06
StepWrap each cheese-topped sausage with a half-slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Place each wrapped sausage into a mini muffin tin. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
07
StepThinly slice the remaining two jalapenos into 24 rounds. Place one slice on top of each bacon-wrapped 'shot'. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
08
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, honey, and brown sugar until well combined. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
09
StepBrush the BBQ sauce mixture generously over the pig shots. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
10
StepBake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. (Bake time: 45 minutes)
11
StepRemove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. The bacon will crisp up slightly as they cool. (Cool time: 10 minutes)
