How to Make Baked Shotgun Shells

This is an easy recipe that anyone can make. It’s just a simple matter of mixing and baking. You’ll be in and out in no time!

Step 1: Prep

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Filling

Combine all the ingredients except for the bacon and extra Dunn Right Sauce.

Step 3: Stuff the Shells

Gently stuff the manicotti with the mixture from both ends, making sure the noodles are completely stuffed with no air pockets.

Step 4: Wrap

Wrap bacon around each stuffed shell, covering all parts of the shell, including the ends. You may need two slices of bacon.

Step 5: Bake

Brush extra Dunn Right Sauce over both sides of the stuffed, bacon wrapped shells, place on the prepared baking rack, and bake for 60 minutes. Then, flip the shells, add more barbecue sauce, and bake for another 60-70 minutes.

Serve hot.
