CHEESY BACON APPETIZER



Cheesy Bacon Appetizer image

This recipe from Savory Recipes is so good -this is like the one Rachael Ray made recently. This is made with sourdough bread, sliced in a checkerboard fashion- almost to the bottom, but left in-tack; then covered with crispy Bacon pieces and cheese, then drenched in ranch flavored butter. This appetizer is bound to make...

Provided by Pat Duran

Categories     Meat Appetizers

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large unsliced round sourdough bread
8 oz block of cheddar cheese, sliced into thin slices
1/4 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled, more or less
1 stick butter, melted
1/4 tsp each of dried chives, parsley, dill weed, and garlic powder
1/8 tsp each of onion powder,salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Using a sharp knife cut a cross-hatch pattern into the bread. To do this slice the bread into 1/2 inch slices, making sure not to cut into the bottom crust. After you make the cuts in one direction, it is easiest to get an extra set of hands to squeeze the loaf together to cut it in the other direction.
  • 2. Place the bread onto a large piece of foil and curve up the edges to form a packet. Then place the thin slices of cheddar cheese in between the cut slices. Then sprinkle the top with the crumbled bacon. Set aside.
  • 3. In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the butter. Then all the dried herbs and spices. Mix all together and let it sit for a minute. Pour the butter herb mixture all over the bread.
  • 4. Wrap the foil all the way around the round of bread and place on a baking sheet. Place in preheated 350^ oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • 5. Unwrap the bread and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and begins to brown. Remove from oven and place on serving plate. Have your guests tear pieces off to eat. OMG! ENJOY!

JANICE'S BACON CHICKEN LIVER APPETIZER



Janice's Bacon Chicken Liver Appetizer image

I was at my friend Janice's home over twenty years ago when she brought these out. They were a hit then (everyone wanted the recipe) and have produced the same reaction every time I've made them. Try these and I know you will make them again and again for so many different reasons. When baking you may want to use a broiler pan so the bacon grease can drain off. I've baked them of cookie sheets and they are great, just a little more bacon flavor. Simply drain them before rolling in cheese. These are good cold or warmed over. ENJOY soak toothpicks in water
