These are the perfect little appetizer sure to make everyone love your BBQ’s this Summer!
Who are we kidding, these are a hit ANY time of year!
My husband cooks these on the smoker but you can also bake them in the oven if you want. Just fill up a cookie sheet with them and cook them in either place.
Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 Kielbasa or large sausage of your choice
- 1 package of bacon (thin works better than thick sliced)
- 1 family size package of instant mashed potatoes made up (about 2-3 cups worth)- you can use any flavor variety or even home made
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- toothpicks
Instructions
Slice the sausage into circles about 1/2" thick. These are the base of your "shots" and give the stability.
Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap each half slice around 1 of the sausage circles and secure with a toothpick.
You now have a sort of cup/shot. Fill the inside with mashed potatoes. The easiest way to do this is to put your mashed potatoes inside a ziploc bag then cut one of the bottom corners and pipe the potatoes in (kind of like frosting a cupcake).
Sprinkle a little cheese on top. Smoke or bake until your bacon is cooked. Enjoy!
