Critical Success Points

  • Refrigerate the assembled shells for at least 4 hours to soften the pasta.
  • Wrap the bacon tightly and overlap to avoid exposed pasta.
  • Smoke at a steady 300°F to ensure bacon crisps without over‑cooking the meat.
  • Glaze and let the sauce tack for 5‑10 minutes before serving.

Safety Warnings

  • Wear gloves when handling raw ground meat to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces thoroughly after touching raw meat.
  • Use insulated gloves when removing hot shells from the smoker.
  • Ensure the internal temperature of the meat reaches at least 165°F.
