Description
Crack Bacon Rolls are bite-sized, savory appetizers featuring creamy cheese spread and ranch seasoning rolled in soft sandwich bread, wrapped in crispy bacon, and baked to golden perfection. Perfect for parties or game day snacks, these flavorful rolls combine creamy, cheesy filling with crunchy bacon in a simple, crowd-pleasing recipe.
Ingredients
For the Rolls
- 1 loaf sandwich bread (such as Sunbeam or Wonder Bread)
- 2 (5-oz) jars Kraft Old English Cheese spread
- 1 (1-oz) package ranch seasoning mix
- 1 lb bacon, cut in half slices
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top to allow air circulation and prevent sogginess.
- Prepare bacon: Cut the bacon slices in half lengthwise and set them aside for wrapping the rolls later.
- Mix cheese filling: In a medium bowl, combine the Kraft Old English cheese spread with the ranch seasoning mix, stirring until smooth and thoroughly blended.
- Prepare bread and roll: Trim the crusts from the sandwich bread slices, then flatten each slice with a rolling pin until thin. Spread each slice evenly with the cheese and ranch mixture, covering the entire surface. Cut each slice into thirds. Roll each piece tightly with the cheese filling inside, then wrap a half slice of bacon around the outside of each roll and secure with a toothpick.
- Arrange on baking rack: Place the bacon-wrapped rolls on the prepared wire rack lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly for proper cooking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the rolls are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Notes
- Removing the crusts and flattening the bread ensures easy rolling and a soft bite.
- Use a wire rack to allow bacon fat to drip away for extra crispiness.
- Can be served warm as party appetizers or snacks.
- Substitute ranch seasoning with other spice blends for variety.
- Let rolls rest a few minutes after baking to allow the bacon to crisp up further.
