Smoked Shotgun Shells
  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cheese, and 1½ tablespoons of the barbecue rub. Mix with your hands until well-incorporated.

  3. Once they are stuffed, wrap each manicotti shell in 2 slices of bacon and sprinkle the tops with the remaining barbecue rub.

  4. Store in the fridge for 6 hours.

  5. Preheat your smoker to 250°F.

  6. Transfer the shotgun shells to a jerky tray or wire rack and place them on the smoker.

  7. Let them smoke for 1½ hours, then increase the temperature on the smoker to 350°F.

  8. Let them cook for another 10 minutes, then brush each one with barbecue sauce, and let them cook for another 10 minutes.

  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
