It helps to freeze the bacon a bit to help keep its shot glass form. Also put the mixture in a zip lock bag and snip a corner off and squeeze into the shot glass! Cheers

My son on Bones and Brews BBQ does these with home made jalapeno pimento cheese topped with your meat church seasoning and a jalapeño slice. Very Very good. They have become my go to for BBQ starters

Recipes and cooks are second to none. I have never been steered wrong by Matt. We have multiple spices from meat church and they are the real deal

I’m a huge fan of the cowboys here in Australia, always have bin, I’m an even bigger fan of yours Matt thanks mate for all your awesome vids and recipes, cheers

I have got to try this, looks awesome

Mmmm, great recipe Matt. I can't wait to make these!

Long time follower...love your channel. You are onto something with the tailgating videos. Even if they are short- they are diff and interesting/idea inspiring We are Memphis Tiger season ticket holders and we had an absolute BLAST at the Cotton Bowl vs. Penn State at the end of December 2019 before things went to hell. That stadium is BAD ASS. Looking forward to going back for a Cowboys game. Love Drew Pearson and so many others. Jay Novacek, Randy White, don't get me started. Go Cowboys!

Another great recipe, cannot wait to try this!!!!

Alright, I went and tried my hand at these pig shots. They turned out good. Did them exactly like you did them, except I used a frosting bag. 350 on my Weber SmokeFire, for 45 minutes. Like I said before…love this channel, and your work. Keep it up.

Just love the flavors here.

Just got done putting 4 dozen of these together for a family gathering later today. I used a cheese ball knife and a small pairing knife to stuff the "shot". Scoop a small amount with the cheese ball knife and scrape it in with the pairing knife. Worked so smooth, no mess . Gonna fire up the smoker in alittle while.

Rocking out that yeti goal zero. I have same setup. I love it

These will be on our Super Bowl Party Table. Thanks so much. The other item that we will be making is an appetizer we found in a Mexican/BBQ Restaurant in Burnet Texas called the Mexican. Unfortunately they are no longer in business. They called them, Angels on Horseback. A large shrimp butterflied. Place a slice of Jalapeno and Monterey Jack cheese into the butterflied area and wrap the shrimp with a half slice of bacon. Toothpick it closed and smoke on the pellet smoker, 375 degrees for 30 minutes. They will go so good with your Pig Shots.

I made these today. Fan-freaking-tastic!!! Thank you Matt for my new go-to party app. Slow jazz 😂😂😂

can't wait to try these!

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. Made the Armadillo eggs last week. Real BIG hit! Keep it going brother. You're at the top of your game!

More Cowboys tailgate cooks would be awesome. Loving your product and enjoying your work.

I'm a Steeler fan so there's no Cowboy love but you know I gotta make those!

I’m doing these for a christmas eve party. Not going by a recipe but I’m using ranch dressing mix for the spices and going to smoke them lower and slower probably around 275

We live on the MS Gulf Coast and watched the Cowboys and Saints play in NO this season. Always been Saints fans, but I'm a MSU graduate so we love us some Dak Prescott! Started following the Cowboys heavy when he went there and haven't stopped. Hope to make the game this next season which I anticipate will be in Dallas. If we do, we'll see if we can stop by and say hello in the tailgate area! Really like what you do and I will definitely be trying this. Quite possibly for the Superbowl this year.

While I tried this recipe this past weekend it was great tasting and very tasty. Unfortunately I use my thick cut bacon from my deli which was about a quarter inch thick, I will use bacon from something like farmer john which is thinner and will crisp up better than my bacon. I used Johnsonville smoked brat sausage as the base and these shots were the best ever!!

Another great video and meal Sir

The slow jazz at a cowboy game seems fitting lol

Good game Matt. As a Panthers fan, I feel like your horn should not have surprised any one actually from NC. Looking forward to the rematch, and grilling some great food at my next tailgate!

Matt "Jerry Jones is the best GM in pro sports" Pittman giving us another tailgate treasure. I don't even know how he comes up with some of these ideas. Must be the slow jazz.

These are fantastic! We added a little brown sugar on the bacon... didn't hate it!

I added a can of Rotel and cayenne pepper to the cream cheese. Ridiculous! Great idea, thanks!

We add a little shredded cheese to the top just before pulling them off the smoker. Liked and subbed.

Was pretty cool seeing you in the stands towards the end of the game. Think I startled you when I yelled out MEAT CHURCH!!!

Dude that looks freakin awesome

Great recipe Matt! Wondering if the sausage was already cooked

Drew Pearson, the original number 88. Whoever else wears that number in Dallas, has to live up to that legacy of excellence.

LAUGHING SO HARD.... I'm watching you make these Pig Shots thinking what is with that music? At a Foot ball game... and instantly you said the same thing... LOL BAHAHAHAH

Looking good there Matt, Where do you get all of these ideas?????

What size generator do you use to power your pellet grill?

I've made something like this before, but instead of beef sausage, I used li'l smokies, and I left out the filling, and instead of bacon, I wrapped them in crescent rolls, and instead of smoking them, baked them in the oven.

Great recipe bro, btw good luck this season. Slot of ppl sleeping on you guys. not me, hopefully the Eagles can prevent Dallas from repeating Division Champs 🔥🔥🔥

Nice! I went to high school with Chad (Rawlings) on the ball crew.

Gonna try to make those soon! What’s the grill on the tailgate?!?

Those may even be a hit in Steeler Country!!!

Need a walk around video of that truck Big Dog!!

I do something similar, but the filling is a crushed pineapple/brown sugar/coconut rum mixture, topped with pecan pieces (called Luau Bacon Shots). This looks more tailgate friendly though (less sticky). Cheers!

Those meat church pellets are 🔥

I'm just shocked you kept that jersey clean haha get stuff keep up the great content 🤙

I'll be at the Cowboys game next week and I'll be looking for ya!

Crazy small World!! You are from Alabama correct? So am I... You now live in Waxahachie, Tx. That is where my Dad was born in 1930. Kinda cool

Oh damn.. just made these today.. if I woulda had armadillo eggs with them it woulda been smoker heaven...

Wonder if you could stuff these with boudin and shredded cheese instead of the cream cheese?

What solar generator do you use

From one Cowboy fan to another those look good. Joe H. Toledo, Ohio. Been a Cowboy fan for 56 yrs. Started to like the Cowboys when I was 10 or 11 and I'm 69 now. Hate the steelers.

What is the name of your theme song? It's great!

Start with cooked or uncooked sausage?

Tailgating as it's best!

I heard the NFL is moving all future Superbowls to Dallas to make sure no team in the big game is ever at their home field again.

👍

wisconsin guy big time dallas fan

Do you use raw or cooked sausage?

I already love all that you do, now I know you're a Cowboys fan...shut up and take my $$ :) Love these series that you do!

I'm sorry but I'm a big Patriots fan so I still enjoy your Channel. I used to root for the Cowboys back in the day when they were with Emmitt Smith😊

your a Cowboy fan 😅 lol let’s go miners ❤💛

Don't have a smoker can you make them on a gas grill

How well does that Goal Zero generator work running your smokers?

Honestly I cannot say enough good things about it. With one Traeger plugged in it said it was going to run over 29 hours. It’s light, obviously makes no noise. It’s amazing for tailgating.

I am trying this for poker night.

Making these for the NLDS game tonight, LETS GO DODGERS!!!

Didn't happen last night but let's get it tonight!

As far as prepping goes putting the filling in a ziplock bag then just cut the corner off and squirt it out then throw the bag away, easy peasy.

I used to love the Cowboys way back in the Leroy Jordan days. When they lost the Superbowl (to the Steelers?), my big sister goaded me and made fun of me to the point that I started crying I was so distraught. Too bad wokeness and kneeling ruined the NFL for me, because tailgating is fun!

Train horns never get old. Classic.

Good call Kevin.

I think using a piping bag (Ziploc with a corner cut off for us people who hate lots of clean up) would be easier to do than spooning that cream cheese in, wouldn't it?

Looks good man. But damn, those Cowboys tailgate seem pretty damn quiet! Y’all sleeping? Love to see you do them up with my billsmafia.
