Smoked Bacon Sausage Peach Shots are one of my favorite appetizers to make because you can do a lot at once, and the cook time is relatively short.

Quick disclaimer: I suck at food photography. While the photos here do the job, they’re far from being a work of art. I’ll work on it.

Cook Time: 1 Hour

Needed for this recipe:

– Bacon- I prefer to use thick cut, but use whatever works for you
– Breakfast Sausage- About 1/2 lbs or so. It’s not an exact science, so your mileage may vary
– Peach Preserves
– Honey Pecan Cream Cheese
– Mini Muffin Tin
– Mini Muffin Liners
– Oil (Optional)

 

Steps:
1) Preheat your smoker to cook at 225.
2) Line the mini muffin tin with the liners.
3) Spray the liners with oil (Optional)
4) Cut your bacon in half.

5) Take half a piece of bacon and wrap it around the outside of the mini muffin tin, forming a cup.

8) Fill each of the cups to the brim with the peach preserve/cream cheese mixture:

 

 

 

 

9) Place on your smoker and cook at 225 until the bacon is done. This takes about an hour or so:

 

 

 

 

They’re done when the bacon is cooked thoroughly:

 

 

 

 

Enjoy!
