Instructions

• Combine the beef, chorizo, cheese, and chiles in a large mixing bowl and use two forks to thoroughly mix it together.
• Pinch off small pieces of the mixture and use your fingers to stuff it into each of the shells (see recipe tip), being sure that there are no air pockets in the shell.
• Wrap each shell with the bacon, doing your best to completely cover the shells in the bacon, as any part of the shell that’s exposed will end up a little too chewy.
• Place the shells in a lidded container and refrigerate, covered, overnight. This will help soften the pasta shell before it bakes.
• Prepare the grill for Indirect Very Low cooking (180°–250°F) using a mini-Minion method. Add a few wood chunks to the coals for smoke flavor.
  Set the grill to the SmokeBoostTM setting.
