• Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or till bacon is crispy. I like mine really crispy, so I cook for 20 minutes.

WRAPPED APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Dry pickles and set aside. Mix together cream cheese and pepper sauce until well blended. Spread cheese mixture on meat carefully or coat pickle literally with the cheese- whichever is easiest for you.
• Wrap pickle in piece of meat to cover pickle completely. Chill in refrigerator for 1/2 hour. Slice into wheels.. I like using the large sweet pickles - the choice is yours.
• Note: Cooked dried asparagus with or without red bell pepper, or whole cooked carrots may be used in place of the pickle if desired. All look pretty on a serving plate.
