STUFFED BACON WRAPPED SKEWERS RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
Bacon (Ruby Red Bacon, I got mine from Halendas Meats)
Cream Cheese (1/2 block)
Pork Seasoning (optional)
Skewers
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your grill or oven to 350 degrees. Prepare your stuffed bacon wrapped skewers by placing your skewers in your cream cheese spacing them 1/2" apart. Cut your cream cheese skewers.
Next, using your ruby red bacon from Halenda's Meats, wrap each skewer, encasing it. I coated each stuffed bacon wrap skewer with a pork rub seasoning but it is an optional step. Grill or cook for approximately 45 minutes or until your bacon is cooked to your preference.
CUSTOMIZING YOUR STUFFED BACON SKEWERS
One of the best things about stuffed bacon skewers is their versatility. You can get as creative as you like with the fillings to suit your tastes. Here are some variations to inspire you:
Cheesy Bacon Skewers: Stuff your bacon with gooey melted cheese (mozzarella is a great choice) and top with marinara sauce for a pizza-inspired twist.
Breakfast Skewers: Stuff your bacon with scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and cheese for a fun breakfast-on-a-stick.
Spicy Bacon Skewers: Add diced jalapeños or chili peppers to your filling for a spicy kick that pairs wonderfully with the smoky bacon.
BBQ Bacon Skewers: Use pulled pork or barbecue chicken as the filling, and brush the skewers with your favorite BBQ sauce for a tangy, smoky bite.
SERVING SUGGESTION
Stuffed bacon skewers are great as appetizers, but they can also work as a main course when paired with sides like a crisp salad, roasted vegetables, or potato wedges.
