### What Are Smoked Shotgun Shells?
Smoked Shotgun Shells are large pasta shells stuffed with a savory filling, typically made from a combination of ground meat (like sausage or beef), cheese, and seasonings. The stuffed shells are then wrapped in bacon and smoked to perfection on the grill or smoker, resulting in a dish that’s smoky, savory, and packed with flavor in every bite. The bacon gives them a delicious crispy texture, while the stuffing stays juicy and tender thanks to the slow smoking process.
Not only do they make for a fun and creative meal, but they also offer a satisfying blend of smoky, cheesy, and meaty flavors that will leave you craving more.
