There’s something undeniably heavenly about the combination of cream cheese and bacon. A rich and creamy spread paired with indulgent, crispy bacon– it’s bound to be a hit every time. My grandma Pat knew that as well as anyone, and that’s why her Bacon Rolls were on repeat every Christmas Eve. These little bites sure pack a whole lot of flavor in the cutest bacon-wrapped package. Let’s get into how they’re made…

To start things out, you need to make the filling. It’s a simple mixture of softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Feel free to get more creative with the spices here if you want to kick things up a notch! You’ll then spread the cream cheese mixture onto a slice of sandwich bread and cut the bread slices into strips slightly wider than your bacon slices. Roll the strips tightly, then wrap a slice of bacon around the outside and pop a toothpick through it so it’s secured. Keep on rolling until you’re out of bacon, then bake the bites for just over 20 minutes, or until they’re nice and crispy.
