When I do pigshots, the cream chesse is drying up (to my liking) before the bacon get done .
Anybody have any tips on how to prevent it?
I cook around 275 deg.

Do you put any grated cheese on top?

I am guessing, as I haven't made any, yet.

I mix cheddar cheese in with the cream cheese and I think that this helps when i make pig shots. The cheddar just melts and gets gooey.

Use thin cut bacon for pig shots. my first batch of pig shots had the same problem, switched to thin cut bacon the next time around and they were perfect.

Core Ingredients

Kielbasa
cream cheese
thin cut bacon
brown sugar
rub
*can add other ingredients such as shredded cheese or whatever you want to try*

Cut the kielbasa into medallions and wrap in half a piece of bacon.

Skewer through the kieldbasa and bacon so it holds the shape of a shot glass.

Mix rub and cream cheese together and spoon or pipe into the meat shot glass.

Add brown sugar to the top of the pig shot

Smoke at whatever temperature you want until bacon is done to your liking.

Eat and enjoy

The only problem I have use the thin cut bacon is, it won't stand up (or hold together) very well to allow for filling.
Maybe try and chill more before I wrap it?

It helps if you put it in the freezer for 30mins-1hr before making them so that they stand up. Also making them in small batches as the bacon warms up so the ends stand up.
