I took these to a Christmas party last night, and everyone raved about them, calling them “awesome!” They are extremely easy and good with either mild green chiles or hot. I made half the batch with Select New Mexico mild green chiles and half with Select New Mexico hot green chiles. Every version was a hit.
I also made both a sweet and a savory version (brown sugar vs parmesan cheese). Again, they were all a hit.
Easy Bacon Chile Appetizers
Guaranteed crowd pleaser, and easy to make. This is also a great recipe to make with the kids - only 4 ingredients and easy to assemble! This is adapted from a recipe by Ree Drummond.
Author: Anita Edge
Recipe type: Appetizer
Ingredients
- ⅓ box Keebler Club crackers (1 cellophane package)
- 1 lb thin sliced bacon
- ½ cup parmesan cheese (or ½ cup dark brown sugar)
- ½ cup diced green chiles
Instructions
- Place a rack on a cookie sheet - these appetizers will be baked on the rack to let the fat drain.
- Cut the pound of bacon in half so that each strip is 4.5 to 5 inches long.
- One at a time, take a cracker, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of parmesan cheese on, then about ½ tsp diced green chiles.
- Take a strip of bacon, stretch it slightly, and wrap it around the cracker so it covers the cracker completely. Then place it on the rack.
- Repeat with each cracker until all bacon is used up.
- Place in the oven, set to 250 degrees, and bake for 2 hours.
Notes
You can create a sweet version by substituting dark brown sugar for the parmesan cheese.
