Sweet and Savory Bacon Wraps

An old co-worker of mine would bring these to every potluck we had in the office. I could have taken the entire plate to my office for myself! When I left my place of employment, I hunted her down for the recipe. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 (1 pound) loaf sliced white bread
• 1 ½ teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
• 1 pound maple-flavored bacon, strips cut in half crosswise

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil, and place a baking rack on the foil-lined sheet.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together the condensed milk and mustard until thoroughly combined. Cut the crusts off the bread and discard crusts or save for another use. Roll a slice of bread out flat with a rolling pin. Place 2 pieces of bacon down onto a work surface, side by side, and lay the bread slice on top of the bacon. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the milk-mustard mixture over the bread. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of Cheddar cheese in a line down the center of the bread.

Step 3

Roll the bacon and bread into a firm roll, working from the short ends of the bacon so they wrap horizontally around the roll. Secure the roll with a toothpick. Repeat for remaining ingredients. Place the bacon rolls onto the baking rack over the pan.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the bacon is crisp and brown, about 20 minutes, turning the rolls over once or twice during baking to crisp the bacon uniformly.
