  • 25 minutes Cook Time

These Sizzlin' Shotgun Shells will be a hit at your next Backyard BBQ, Family Get-Together, or Tailgate. In this recipe, Manicotti Shells are loaded with Johnsonville Sausage  and Cheddar Cheese, then wrapped in bacon, and fired off on the Pit Boss. Trust us, this is a snack you don't want to miss.

Ingredients

  • One package of Johnsonville raw sausage links
  • 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Bacon
  • Manicotti Pasta shells
  • Pit Boss Memphis BBQ Sauce

Directions

  • Preheat you Pit Boss Grill to 350 °F
  • While your grill is heating up, remove the sausage from its casing, and add it to a mixing bowl.
  • Then, mix the sausage, cheese, and milk together and spoon into a piping bag.
  • Next, fill the pasta shells with sausage mixture, ensuring the whole pasta shell is completely full. Then, wrap the stuffed pasta shell in strips of bacon, covering all sides.
  • Once your shotgun shells are wrapped in bacon, place them on the bottom grate of your Pit Boss with the sear plate closed. Rotate every 4-6 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Finally, brush on your favorite BBQ sauce and cook for another 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the smoker and enjoy!
