Smoked Shotgun Shells - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Step 1

In a large bowl, add the ground beef, chorizo, Rib Rub, Original Seasoning, onion, jalapenos, garlic, cheddar cheese, and Mozzarella cheese. Mix well with your hands.

Step 2

Stuff the Manicotti shells with the mixture and place on a wire rack. Wrap each shell with 1 slice of the bacon and place back on the wire rack. Sprinkle with additional Rib Rub, or seasoning of your choice.

Step 3

Place the wire rack on a cookie sheet and set in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.

Step 4

Preheat the smoker to 275 degrees F. Add a few chunks of cherry or apple wood to the smoker. Remove the wire rack from the cookie sheet and place on the smoker and smoke for 1 hour.

Step 5

Increase the temperature to 350 degrees F, and smoke for 10 minutes. Brush the shells with BBQ sauce and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the smoker and let cool slightly before serving.
