Yield 4 Logs

1 pound Colby Cheese-grated
1 8oz box Philly Cream Cheese
4 slices of quality thick bacon-cooked well and fine ground
(Reserve 3 tbs of the bacon grease)
1/2 cup ground pepper crackers
1 pair disposable plastic gloves
Wax paper and/or plastic wrap

Steps:

Grate and set aside the colby cheese in a large mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese, the fine ground Bacon and with gloved hands mix thoroughly. The cheeses soften during mixing but they will harden back up in the refrigerator. Divide the bowls contents into 4 equal portions, and roll each into a log the diameter of a quarter coin. Roll lightly into the cracker mix and wrap in the wax paper or plastic and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cheese logs will taste. Use fresh, full-fat cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon.
  • Chill your ingredients before using them. This will help the cheese logs to hold their shape better.
  • Be careful not to overmix the cheese mixture. Overmixing will make the cheese logs tough.
  • Roll the cheese logs in a variety of toppings. You can use chopped nuts, seeds, herbs, or spices to add flavor and texture to your cheese logs.
  • Refrigerate the cheese logs for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to firm up and hold their shape.
