Mix cream cheese, chiles, shredded cheese, chili powder and Honey Hog BBQ Rub thoroughly in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
Slice sausage into 1/2 inch slices. Cut bacon strips in half. Wrap bacon around the sausage, creating a bowl and secure with a toothpick.
Fill the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Top with more Honey Hog BBQ Rub.
Place the pig shots on the Traeger until the bacon is crispy and golden brown, about 45 to 60 minutes.
