Game Day Shotgun Shells

[JckDanls 07]

Could you smoke them the day before and Reheat them in a hot oven or on the grill to brown up the bacon

I'm thinking if you smoked them the day before... The bacon is already gonna be browned..

But to reheat and keep bacon crispy (sorta)... As @forktender suggested in a pain and reheated in the oven, no cover... Single layered (not stacked on top of each other)... I mean, you could put them under the broiler for a few minutes I guess...

Myself.. I use the air fryer for reheating...

I would use an air fryer, too, if I had one that was a decent size.

Thanks for the info, I think I’ll wait on the shotgun shells and smoke a piece of salmon instead.

Seahawks are going to send the 49'ers packing a little later tonight, so I will be taking some shotgun shells and Dutch's Wicked Beans to my favorite watering hole to share.
I think I may have solved the problem of the crunchy shells, at least I hope so.
I added about 1/3-1/2 cup of bbq sauce to the meat mixture for more moisture, and after an overnight rest in the fridge, they felt pretty soft when I put them on the rack.

Used 1 lb. each of hot Italian sausage and 85/15 hamburger, plus 1-1/2 lbs of pork sausage. To that, went 1/2 diced onion and 8 oz. finely shredded sharp cheddar.

Read from someone else here that the finely shredded cheese tends to disappear, so added another 8 oz of farmer's style shredded to the mix, with about 2 T. of Holy Voodoo rub (which was all I had left.) This ended up having more meat than shells. I filled 28 manicotti and still had about 1 lb left, which I'm sure I'll find a use for later.

About 1-1/2 hours in. Looking good so far.

That meat mix sounds incredible, especially with the combo of cheeses and the Holy Voodoo rub!
