Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Pickles

Directions

• Fire up your Pit Boss Platinum Series KC Combo and preheat grill to 375°F.
• Preheat griddle to medium- low flame.
• In a mixing bowl combine cream cheese, sour cream, Pit Boss Smoked Salt & Pepper Rub, and scallions.
• Use a hand mixer to blend well, then fold in grated cheddar-jack. Set aside.
• Cook bratwurst on the griddle. Use a metal spatula to chop up sausage into smaller bits and cook until browned.
• Remove from the griddle and set aside on a sheet tray to cool.
• Place pickles on a sheet tray. Cut in half, then remove seeds with a small measuring spoon.
• Stuff one half of each pickle with cream cheese mixture and top with crumbled bratwurst.
• Top with the other pickle half, then wrap in bacon.
• Season bacon-wrapped pickles with Hickory Bacon Rub, place in cast iron skillet, then transfer to grill.
• Grill pickles for 45 to 55 minutes, until bacon starts to crisp on top. Remove from grill. Serve warm.
