Bacon Cracker Cheese Appetizers Recipes

HOLIDAY BACON APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Lay the crackers face up on a large rack over a baking sheet (or broiler pan). Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the grated Parmesan onto each cracker. Cut the package of bacon in half (or cut pieces individually) and carefully, so the cheese doesn't fall off, wrap each cheese covered cracker with one half piece of bacon, completely covering the cracker. It should fit snugly around the cracker, but not be pulled too taut. Place the bacon-wrapped crackers onto the rack. Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 2 hours. Serve immediately or at room temperature!

DELICIOUS BACON AND CRACKER APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Line cookie sheet with Reynolds Release® foil.
• Cut bacon slices in half (or thirds if you've'smeared' it thin and long with your hands).
• I separate crackers at perforations so each cracker will be about two bites.
• Wrap bacon from under short end of cracker up and around to the other end of cracker so the cracker is wrapped and ends of bacon are underneath cracker.
• Sprinkle each bacon wrapped cracker with some brown sugar (to taste).
• Bake in 350° for about 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned and bacon is a little crispy.
• Remove IMMEDIATELY from baking sheet to serving platter especially if you haven't used the Release® foil because you don't want them to stick.
