We’re bringing you the sausage appetizer you didn’t know you needed! It’s meaty, cheesy and oh-so-easy! Swaggerty’s Farm Premium Dinner Link Sausages are wrapped with bacon, stuffed with pimento cheese, baked and drizzled with bbq sauce.
Swaggerty's Farm Bacon-Wrapped Sausage Shooters
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cut thick sliced bacon in half lengthwise, so each slice yields two slices.
- Cut sausage links into ½” bite-size pieces. You should have around 25-30 pieces.
- Wrap the bacon slices around the bottom of the sausage bites and secure them in place using toothpicks, making little “bacon shot glasses.” Use one or more toothpicks to secure the bacon so it stays in place while cooking.
- Place each sausage shooter on the baking sheet. Fill each sausage shooter with some pimiento cheese. Add a jalapeño slice to the top of each.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the bacon is fully cooked and they are browned and puffy on top. Remove from oven, cool for a few minutes & drizzle with your favorite barbecue sauce.
Notes
-
You can easily make these sausage shooters through direction #5, cover and refrigerate until ready to bake later.
-
