Wrap half a slice of bacon around each sausage medallion.

Secure the bacon with a toothpick.

Stuff the wrapped sausage medallion with homemade pimento cheese.

Sprinkle a dash of Meat Church Honey Hog Hot seasoning on top of the pimento cheese.

Place the pig shots in a Weber Smoky Mountain smoker preheated to between 300 and 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Smoke the pig shots for about 45 minutes to an hour, checking the bacon for doneness.

Remove the pig shots from the smoker and let them cool slightly before serving.
