Ingredients

🥓 1 package Hormel Black Label Original Bacon 12-16 slices
🥒 4-5 Mt. Olive Kosher Dill Spears
🌶️ Dry rub or seasoning blend
🧀 Colby Jack cheese block enough to grate and form 4-5 crisps
🍶 Ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

1- Prepare Your Workspace:

• Clear a clean surface or cutting board to lay out your bacon slices.

2- Season & Wrap:

• 🥓 Open the bacon package and lay out individual strips.
• 🌶️ Sprinkle a generous amount of dry rub/seasoning over one side of each bacon strip.
• 🥒 Take a dill pickle spear and wrap it tightly with a seasoned bacon strip. Repeat with the remaining spears.

3- Cook the Bacon-Wrapped Pickles:

• 🔥 Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
• 🥓 Carefully place bacon-wrapped pickle spears into the pan.
• 🔄 Turn frequently with tongs, cooking until bacon is crispy and golden on all sides.
• 🥒 Once done, remove from pan and set aside.

4- Create Cheese Crisps:

• 🧀 Grate a generous amount of Colby Jack cheese.
• 🥄 Place a pile of cheese into the hot pan, forming a small circular or oval shape.
• 👀 Allow to melt and crisp until it forms a solid, slightly browned cheese crisp.

5- Assemble the Final Dish:

• 🥓 Place one cooked bacon-wrapped pickle spear onto one side of the hot cheese crisp.
• 🔀 Using a spatula, fold the cheese crisp over the pickle, encasing it in the cheese. The heat helps the cheese adhere.
• ♻️ Repeat for remaining pickles and cheese crisps.

6- Serve:

• 🍽️ Arrange on a serving plate and serve with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
