Whether you are looking for an easy appetizer for a party, an afternoon snack or a simple lunch idea for kids, these Bacon & Cheese Pigs in a Blanket are just the thing! Adding a few ingredients makes this classic recipe way more delicious than it already was!
I remember the first time my aunt made Pigs in a Blanket for me as a kid. They were so good! Even as an adult, I still love making them for a party or just a snack. When I was making them as an appetizer for a party last week, I decided to mix it up and add some of my favorites: bacon and cheese!
I think that bacon bits are something that should always be kept in the house! We all know that bacon makes anything better. But adding bacon and cheese to pigs in a blanket? Yes, please!
I made these Bacon and Cheese Pigs in a Blanket for a Super Bowl party, and they were great as an appetizer! Football season may be over, but this recipe is great for any party or get together.
