Holiday Bacon Appetizers
Looking for a bacon appetizer to serve over the holiday season! Here you go… from the Pioneer Woman, Ree.
Ingredients
- 1 package Club Crackers
- 1 pound Thin Sliced Bacon (or More Depending On Number Of Crackers)
- Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Optional Alternative: Brown Sugar Instead Of Parmesan Cheese
Preparation Instructions
Lay crackers (as many as you want) face up on a cookie sheet.
Scoop about 1 teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese onto each cracker. Cut your package of bacon in half (or cut pieces individually) and carefully, so the cheese doesn’t fall off, wrap each cheese covered cracker in one half piece of bacon, completely covering the cracker. It should fit snugly around the cracker.
Place the bacon wrapped crackers onto a baking sheet that has a rack on it.
Place in a 250-degree oven for about 2 hours.
