Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Pinwheels:
  • 6 pieces thick-cut bacon
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 2 jalapeños sliced into thin rounds
  • Sweet Preacher seasoning by Fire & Smoke Society
For the BBQ Glaze:
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

Method
 

  1. Season breakfast sausage generously with Sweet Preacher seasoning and mix thoroughly.
  2. Slice jalapeños into thin rounds. Prepare workspace with bacon strips and toothpicks ready.
  3. Spread seasoned sausage on each bacon strip, add jalapeño slices, and roll tightly. Secure with toothpicks.
  4. Slice each roll into 2-3 individual pinwheels about 1½ inches thick.
  5. Grill at 350-375°F for 15-20 minutes, turning every 5-6 minutes for even browning.
  6. Mix BBQ sauce with apple cider vinegar. Begin glazing pinwheels after initial cooking phase.
  7. Continue cooking 8-10 minutes while glazing until internal temperature reaches 160°F and bacon is crispy.

Notes

- Use thick-cut bacon for better wrapping and structure
- Don't roll too tightly or filling will squeeze out
- Cook to 160°F internal temperature for food safety
- Apply glaze only during last 10 minutes to prevent burning
- Recipe can be prepped several hours ahead
