Bacon Wrapped Smoked Shotgun Shells BBQ is a quick and easy BBQ appetizer that you can make in about an hour and a half, and its just a few simple ingredients. Let's take a look at this BBQ Shotgun Shells recipe. Manicotti shells, ground sausage, shredded cheese, bacon, your favorite bbq rub, and your favorite bbq sauce. I smoked these on my Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800, and set the Masterbuilt Gravity 800 to 300F. At about 45min in I sauced them up and let the setup for about 5-10 minutes.
These smoked shotgun shells appetizer were a flavor parade! Between the bacon, the rub , sauce, smoke, and sausage it was delicious!

[@elizadfera3556]

I make these at least 5-10 times every summer. But I use an improvised piping bag to feed the sausage into the shells. Cuts the time down of filling them by 90%, and significantly lowers the chances of breaking them.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I thought about piping them with a ziplock as soon as I finished this video… I’m making them Sunday and will do that for sure

[@Divelucaya]

A sausage stuffer can be used too. Small diameter tube right into the shell. Crank, fill, next.

[@bobburzy588]

I use jerky gun

[@damiwilson1503]

good

[@Famousfifty8]

With a manicotti shell involved I am surprised more people don't put a soft melting cheese in the stuffing mixture more often, such as cream cheese. It seems like the perfect ingredient to add to the goodness. No matter what, looks killer either way. Great job!

[@texascrossbowdude636]

Maybe try a low heat cheese like they use in sausage or snack sticks

[@ayehotah3887]

I am more people!

[@damiwilson1503]

nice

[@59jkappelman]

My shell mix is 50/50 ground beef and pork, 8 oz softened cream cheese, 8 oz sharp cheddar, small can of chopped hatch chilies. I make meatballs from whatever doesn't fit in the shells

[@davidsprepstation]

Those look amazing! The bacon came out perfectly cooked.

[@chrishonerkamp5979]

Look amazing! I've watched several recipes on these and this is absolutely the one I'm going with!! Thank you much!

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

I’ve found after cooking em a couple times the first time the pasta shell was still a bit under done, so 2nd time I threw em in boiling water for around 3 mins, and they were perfectly cooked, so many different things you can add to em, love Italian sausage with jalapeños and a mix of cheeses, cheers mate

[@ryannavarre4161]

Boil them before or after the smoke?

[@BoboTheZebra]

@@ryannavarre4161 before for sure

[@sonicwind1901]

@@ryannavarre4161 idk after the smoke seems like a great idea to me

[@JeremyRedlinger]

I agree... I have made them without boiling first and with boiling for about 3 minutes... no boil game me a crunchy shell especially on the edges... when I did boil them they were soft throughout and still easy to stuff without breaking the shell. I did a bacon cheeseburger shotgun shell that turned out awesome. You can check it out at kzbin.info-WA8N2KrxWE?feature=share

[@imatreeguy1143]

I let mine roll at 250 for 2.5 hours and 300 for 30. I used thick cut as I figured grease content would be better. I got the bacon off a sow I helped raise so it didn't have no shrink or anything. The shells were perfect.

[@georgesmith8255]

I put my sausage in a heavy duty ziplock bag and cut a corner off and squeezed it in.. I also put my shells in boiling water for like 2 or 3 minutes then squeezed my sausage in… I also dried off my shells a bit before I stuffed them.. helps to hold on to the little slippery suckers when your wearing gloves…

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Yeah I thought about piping it in after the fact, but I’ll definitely do that next time!

[@justinbrewster8895]

Jerky gun works great to

[@biggdoggxxxx]

Great vid....Awesome job too !!! Definitely trying these out!!!! Thanks!!!

[@muzzykolip]

Wow they look awesome bro. Definitely gona try this recipe. Tnx for sharing 👍

[@danielscholl7116]

It doesn't matter if you break the noodle. The sausage will hold the noodle together, then wrap like normal. I've made these a few times. Hot Italian sausage is our favorite. Also, I like to add a little BBQ rub to the meat. They look good, good job!

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

In my newer version I add some rub, but I also add a block of cream cheese

[@rivermagic]

Another cracking vid Andrew, loving seeing all these recipes I'd never even heard of before, keep it up buddy

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Thanks man!

[@gleichg]

Out of all the videos I've seen on these yours look the best. Nice color didn't explode. Nice job.

[@stevebono9058]

Instead of jaleopeno, try dill pickle pieces, you will be amazed at how well the pickle pairs with Italian sausage.

[@contrabardus]

You're wrapping it in bacon, so you don't need to worry too much about the pasta breaking. You just don't want it to shatter, but if it cracks or flakes off a bit, or even splits, you're fine. Honestly, there's no reason you can't just carefully break them in half, fill them with sausage, and then put them back together like a sabot. Even if they are a little "shattered" between the sausage and bacon you should be able to get them to "stick" together as long as they aren't in too many pieces.

[@Sovreign071]

I just want to tack this onto your wonderful video: Don't be afraid to just make this (or any new recipe) for yourself first. Find the method and flavors you like best before using friends and family as taste testers. Learned this the hard way with curry buns...

[@timmati56]

To make stuffing easier, I have and use a “jerky shooter” for stuffing pork chops, chicken breasts, jalapeño poppers, etc.. Place mixed ingredients in stuffer tube, use slim Jim attachment and stuff away!👍🏻

[@horacejones5226]

Great idea. Did you get your jerky gun from Amazon? If so, do you mind sharing what brand?

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Next time I make them I’ll use a ziploc bag as a piping bag

[@couldbecooking]

This literally looks like heaven! 🤤 (I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel!)

[@PeterSeidel-So-geht-Trading]

Uiuiuiui! What a delicacy! Greetings from Germany.

[@Justin-tp3lr]

They look really good. I will have to throw some on the smoker this next weekend.

[@elisepelletier9474]

Such a great idea. Especially for a group

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Oh yeah, that’s what I did and they were a hit!

[@RicsBBQSpecialties]

I have been wanting try these myself. Not planning a video but they look like they are tasty. Great job Brother!👍🏼👍🏼

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

They were pretty tasty! I had a comment elsewhere that said he used 1/4 package of cream cheese per pound of sausage and that sounded good as heck!

[@Sebastopolmark]

Made these yesterday. Could NOT find manacotti shells so I used lasagna noodles, boiled them for 5 minutes so I could use two per "log". I added garlic, paprika and some chiptole powder to the country sausage. They definitely cooked faster (done in 45 minutes). It did work and everybody liked them. Thanks again! !! !!!

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Sounds like you did a great job improvising! I thought I was going to have to do the same… had to go to several stores to find the shells.

[@robgindc1]

This looks insanely delicious, thanks!

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Oh they are!

[@mckissack]

My store didn’t have manicotti so I got some jumbo shells. Going to try that tomorrow

[@deejaytrizay]

Those look awesome! Well done man. I like thin bacon for wrapping too b/c of the elasticity.

[@RealEstateFireman]

Loved the video. Nice job. So I started making shotgun shells at the begging of summer but I dubbed them “shotgun shells with a kick”.. I put a long slice of jalapeno in them each.

[@donnapollock]

I have never heard of these before but I love these. I will be making these this week. Thank you and God Bless you Great recipe....

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I’ve made them several times since then. I started preboiling the shells for about 90 seconds and they turn out even better

[@manuelmaedje]

Man this looks so so good. I will try it myself.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

They are very tasty!

[@59jkappelman]

I've made these many times and as long as the meat mixture is sufficient not dense, i hand stuff these without breakage, every time!

[@ocnbrze2003]

tip.....use piping bags to stuff the shells with the sausage mixture.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I thought about that immediately after I finished this video.... I'll use a ziplock when I make them again this weekend.

[@WeberEnthusiast]

Great job will be trying this out this holiday wk in Australia 🇦🇺

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Be sure to let me know how they turn out!

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

They are a pretty darn good bbq appetizer

[@froochie123]

Cook the noodle a little bit first it will make them softer. Stuff them with a jerky gun, sausage adapter.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I'll use a piping bag the next time that I make these.

[@bb57365]

Thanks for the video, now I’m hungry! You’re lucky you have a helper. I made these for the first time last weekend - before seeing your YT - and thought I was lame when the bacon didn’t completely cover the shell. So thank you for showing you may need to add a partial slice.

Omg these are absolutely amazing! Made them in my oven instead of the grill.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Glad you liked them!

[@dllmpb06]

I made them in the oven also but mine were hard to chew,I hard boiled the manicotti shells for 2 minutes prior to stuffing them, are yours very chewy also ? What temp and time did you bake yours ?

[@ms_forsaken236]

Sry I didn’t get back to you sooner. I had every intention to but then I got sidetracked. I remembered today because I’m making them for dinner. Stuff them with the sausage & cheese. Wrap them with the bacon. I use a casserole dish. I can fit 12 in one. 8 on top & 4 sideways. I put bbq sauce on the bottom first, then the shotgun shells. I cook on 375 & turn them every 30 minutes. If they look like they are getting crispy I will add bbq sauce mixed with a little water & cover them with foil. Keep checking & turning them until your desired taste. I hope this helps you. ❤

[@eliasnasrallah2092]

Terrific! I’ll definitely be trying your recipe on my Weber Kettle

[@nicholaspitman114]

I'm going to try this, I think I'll try my sausage maker to stuff the shells.

[@suesmith4325]

If you take the back of a chef's knife and scrape the bacon from the center to the ends it will make the bacon thinner for baking and grilling wrapped foods. Crispy and done bacon, plus it goes further. Sometimes twice as far.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

This bacon was pretty bad… it was super thin and narrow and would just fall apart when we were wrapping them.

Trying these today, when you sauced at the end did you turn them to get all sides or just the tops? Same question when you put on your rub? Thanks

@@texascrossbowdude636 So here is my report:. We made them with Hot Italian and shredded cheese, some with jalapeno spears, some with dill pickle spears, stuffed in precooked manicotti, wrapped in thin bacon. Sprinkled with Butt Rub, ( from Costco), and glazed with half BBQ sauce and half Jalapeno Sauce (El Pato brand) with about a Tbsp of Cholula for kick. Very good. We also made them with chorizo, shredded cheese, jalapeno spears, rolled in street taco sized corn tortillas, wrapped in thin bacon, Butt Rub, and same glaze. They were excellent! My vote is the chorizo in corn tortillas. Also much easier to make! Enjoy!! 🌶️🌶️🌶️
