Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup ground sausage (choose your preferred spice level)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 12 slices thick-cut bacon
- BBQ sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Your Grill: Set your grill to medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C) to prepare for cooking.
- Prepare the Bacon: Cut each slice of bacon in half. This will make it easier to wrap around the filling.
- Mix Your Filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese with chopped green onions and ground sausage. Stir until well mixed.
- Assemble the Bites: Take half a slice of bacon and wrap it around a portion of the sausage mixture. If needed, secure it with a toothpick to hold its shape.
- Grill: Place the assembled bites on the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and everything inside is heated through.
- Drizzle with BBQ Sauce: Once cooked, remove from the grill and drizzle your favorite BBQ sauce over each bite while still hot.
- Serve Immediately: Transfer to plates and enjoy these delicious bites warm!
