Fantastic recipe from the shotgun shell fad. Uses Fragout Flavors Purple Heart Maple Bacon Seasoning.
Recipe:
1lb Ground Beef 90/10
1lb Ground Pork sausage
2 Packages Manicotti Shells
1 Cup Shredded Cheese (type and amount are based on preference)
2 lb thin sliced bacon
2 TBSP Fragout Flavor Purple Heart seasoning Maply bacon goodness!
BBQ sauce of preference
1. Mix the ground beef and ground pork together. Add Seasoning in during this process. I used about 2 tablespoonsISH of seasoning.
2. Mix in shredded cheese of your choice with the ground meat. Make sure to get it mixed in evenly. Don't skimp on the cheese.
3. Start filling the manicotti shells with the meat and cheese mixture. Its going to get messy. I tried with a spoon, it just wasn't working. Grab a handful of meat and push it in the shell. Make sure the shell is filled completely from end to end (this helps moisten the shell as the shells are not precooked)
4. Wrap the shell in a slice of bacon. Try to get the entire shell wrapped. The thinner bacon works well here, especially keeping everything in once piece.
5. Cover those yummy looking shells up with some more Purple Heart.
6. Set the uncooked shotgun shells in the fridge to "rest." Let them sit for atleast 4 hours. Anything less and the shells will not moisten up. I actually left them sit overnight.
7. Heat up your grill/smoker to 350. I used a smoke tube on the Traeger Ironwood 885 to add a little more smoke
8. Toss those bundles of meaty goodness on the grill. They will cook for 1 hour.
9. (optional) With about 10 min left in the cook. Take them off and slather some bbq sauce on them. Choose your favorite and paint it on like a child painting on the walls.
10. Let the cook finish for the 10 min, to carmalize that sauce
11. Take stuffed meaty goodness off the grill. Bring to the table. Dive in and enjoy!
