Try these NOW!! | Shotgun Shells

These smoked shotgun shells are a happy little appetizer that is so meaty and filling it could easily double as a main dish. Manicotti is stuffed with a spicy sausage mixture, wrapped in bacon, and cooked on the smoker for the best BBQ bite around.

Key to getting the pasta soft is to fill them, wrap them, and then allow them to sit in a fridge for 4 hours. Then when you smoke them for 90 min or so, the pasta is nice and soft. The storing in fridge for 4 hours is KEY.

I had just finished prepping traditional shotgun shells and seen this. I had 23 already prepped, sitting in the fridge and said wow!!! I've got to try this. So off to the store we went. I decided to do the parboil with these so that I could do both batches together. Hands down one of the best recipes I've tried. I decided to go extra cheesy with mine but otherwise the same. Thank you so much for sharing your cooks. Your presentation in front of the camera is top notch and you've got a great smile.

Add a lil moisture that makes stuffing easier. Thanks for sharing got to try that

[billkarnes]

I tried your recipe and it was amazing! I made one slight change though...

I prepped them the night before, with raw pasta. Then, since I don't have a smoker, I cooked them in my air fryer, at 250° for 20 minutes, then butter and cheese the tops. Another 5 minutes at 350° to crisp the bacon.

what about stuffing them shells using a Pastry Bag ??

I've made shotgun shells a dozen times at least, and I never parboil the shells. The fat softens the shells to perfection.

I have saved cooking videos without really watching them and hope to watch them later. For some reason I watched this one and can't wait to try it tomorrow. I love how you guys can do things on the fly and don't feel the need to exactly measure things out. My specialty is braciola and it's never the same thing twice as I love experimenting. I'm going to take your Pizza Shotgun Shell recipe and throw my own little spin of adding a little fresh spinach, basil, and a couple of sliced scallions. You guys seem like you wouldn't be offended about that. Cheers and thanks for the inspiration!

Any hints to cook/smoked Shotgun shells on a charcoal grill/smoker. PS, did the Pineapple Pig Shots on the charcoal grill, and they came out Awesome!! I used applewood chips with my charcoal briquets.

[markthomasstopani]

Great video and recipe. Try Chicken Cordon Blue shot gun shells they are amazing!!

[bubbaj]

I wanna try that with capicola ham, cream cheese, jalapeño and cheddar.

[rhunter]

Gotta try these! Also love the extra Todd in the

[rlwhitefield]

I like Todd, he asked the question I had and is hilarious!

[markwindholz]

What do you think about using pepper jack cheese in the filling? Or for the spice lovers, diced jalapeños?

[devenjohnson]

I know something similar that is always my top requested. Take your spin on a snoked jalapeno popper but after it cools fry in a spring roll.

[xmikemurphyx]

Loving these vids with Todd. Great dynamic between the two of you.

[markkeller]

Do you use thick cut bacon or regular to wrap the shells?
