  • Step 2: Stuff uncooked shells gently with brisket mixture, making sure there are no air pockets in shells. Wrap bacon around shell, covering both ends. You might need two pieces of bacon.
  • Step 3: Brush all side of bacon with recteq BBQ sauce and place shells on Mesh Cooking Mat. Place Mesh Cooking Mat inside recteq and bake for 50-60 minutes or until bacon is crispy. Remove from recteq and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
