Bring on the Bacon ... Just in Time for the Super Bowl

With Super Bowl parties just around the corner, it's essential to be on top of your appetizer game! A friend brought these tasty treats to our house for a party over the holidays, and I had never had them before. So, naturally, I inquired about the recipe, and she said, "Oh, it's just that old Ritz cracker and bacon recipe!"

Apparently they were all the rage in the '70s and '80s, but this is one of the oldies I never knew about. My mom, who seemed to know every recipe floating around, never served them in all of her entertaining years either, that I can remember.

If you like bacon ... you're going to love these!

Ritz-Bacon Crisps

(Makes 24)

INGREDIENTS

24 Ritz crackers, broken in half

12 pieces thin cut (uncooked) bacon strips, cut in half

3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

Heat the oven to 250 F. Lay crackers on a rack on top of a baking sheet. (Stack two cracker halves on top of each other, using one full cracker for each stack.) Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon (or so) of Parmesan on top of each cracker stack. Wrap the cracker and cheese with 1/2 slice of bacon, making sure the ends are on the bottom. Bacon should be wrapped snugly, but not too tightly. Bake on the rack with cookie sheet underneath it for about 2 hours until bacon is cooked and crispy.

Can freeze and reheat!
