Bacon Cheeseburger Shotgun Shells

Parboil the manicotti shells for 3-4 minutes to soften them slightly.

Cook your ground beef seasoned with Oh My Garlic Seasoning, and set aside to cool while you're prepare the rest of the ingredients

Chop your pickles and onions finely (if you have dill relish that'll work also.)

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar, pickles, onions & cream cheese with the cooked ground beef. Mix well to combine, and place into ziploc or piping bag when finished

Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the manicotti shell until the shell is completely full. Wrap in 2 slices of bacon making sure that your seams are overlapped and the ends are on the bottom of the shell to hold it all together while cooking. Place on wire rack and season with more Oh My Garlic.

Place in smoker to cook with the lid closed for 40-45 minutes. Begin checking them at 30 minutes as cooking times will vary.

When bacon is looking crispy and done to your liking, brush with BBQ sauce as the last step and close the lid to the smoker and let them glaze for about 5 minutes.

Remove from smoker and let sit for 5-10 minutes to allow them to cool so you don't burn your mouth.
