Bacon Roll Ups I

This is a great, easy hot appetizer. Pepperidge Farm® sandwich bread works great with this recipe, as it's square and firm. I make these ahead, freeze them on a cookie sheet, store them in a freezer bag, then cook them as I need them. Wonderful if friends drop by during the holidays!

Ingredients

• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 (1 pound) loaf sandwich bread
• 1 pound bacon, cut in half

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Cut the crusts off of the bread slices, then cut each piece of bread into three equal rectangles.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic powder, and parsley. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on each bread rectangle, and roll it up. Wrap a slice of bacon around each of the bread rolls and secure them with toothpicks. Arrange the roll ups on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake until the bacon is crisp, approximately 10 minutes.
