My family loves these. They can be served as an appetizer or a side dish. They can be stuffed with sliced Italian sausage, chunks of cheese, or other small savory treats.

2. Roll mixture into 1 1/4- inch balls. Wrap a bacon strip around each ball. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients.(here is where you may need more bacon slices(it depends on how big you make the balls). I like to make small ones and use the whole pound of bacon. These freeze well, after baked and cooled.
3. In a large skillet, cook bacon roll-ups on all sides over medium heat for 18 minutes or until bacon is crisp and a meat thermometer inserted into stuffing reads at least 160^. Drain on paper towels. Makes 12 or more.
