BACON-WRAPPED PICKLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pat pickles dry with a paper towel. Cut cream cheese into 8 strips. Place 1 strip onto each pickle, and wrap with a strip of bacon, securing ends with toothpicks if necessary. Place pickles on the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then serve with ranch dressing.

BACON-WRAPPED PICKLES STUFFED WITH PIMENTO CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Use a small spoon to scoop out the center of each pickle half, creating a long well. Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the pickle wells. Fill each pickle well with about 2 teaspoons of the pimento cheese. Smooth out into an even layer.
• Place the bacon strips in between paper towels on top of a microwave-safe plate. Microwave until slightly cooked, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Wrap 1 strip of bacon around each pickle half and secure it with a toothpick or by tucking it under the pickle half.
• Lay the wrapped pickles on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

• Roll the pork chops closed (to keep the cream cheese inside).
• Wrap each pork chop in one to two pieces of bacon (depending on how big your pork chops are). Secure with a toothpick.
• Place the pork chops in a lightly greased baking dish, and bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
• Broil for 5 minutes to crisp the bacon.
