    The Pioneer Woman Holiday Bacon Appetizers

    The Pioneer Woman Holiday Bacon Appetizers are AMAZING! I was watching the show The Pioneer Woman one early morning and she made these. All three of the ingredients were in my kitchen so I had to try it. Boy am I glad I did! My husband and I couldn't stop eating these. I made them on New Year's Eve and they went quickly 🙂

    The Pioneer Woman Holiday Bacon Appetizers

    I made some with the Parmesan Cheese and the others with Brown Sugar. Best of all our readers tell us you can prep these ahead and freeze them! That makes them an easy recipe to use for the holidays in my opinion!

    How to Make The Pioneer Woman Holiday Bacon Appetizers

    To prepare lay the crackers (as many as you want) face up on a cookie sheet.  Next scoop about 1 teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese onto each cracker.  Cut your package of bacon in half (or cut pieces individually).

    Next wrap each cheese covered cracker in one half piece of bacon, completely covering the cracker.  Do this carefully, so the cheese doesn’t fall off.  The bacon should fit snugly around the cracker.  Melissa has even made these with gluten free crackers!

    Finally place the bacon wrapped crackers onto a baking sheet that has a rack on it.  Place in a 250-degree oven for about 2 hours.  It is really that simple to make this yummy holiday bacon cracker!

    The Pioneer Woman Holiday Bacon Appetizers

    Perfect for any party or if you are having an appetizer night for dinner!  We enjoy these on game day, New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve in particular. The Pioneer Woman Bacon Appetizers will be a hit no matter when you serve them, or how often for that matter.

      I would love to make these ahead and freeze like Ree said we could but am worried they won't be crisp when re-heating. Have you tried to freeze them before? If so, how did they turn out?

        We didn't try to freeze but crackers freeze well so I bet it would work!

        These stay crisp out of the freezer. I make them ahead all year long.

          We prepped and baked. If you have extra they can be frozen.

      I originally saw this recipe done by Paula Deen. Guess the network reassigned her recipes when they kicked her to the curb.

        I would heat them in the oven on 250 I think. If you do in the microwave they would be soggy. I am afraid they may be soggy but it is worth a try!

        You don't reheat them they are served at room temperature. I've been making them for years ever since I saw them on Pioneer Woman. The brown sugar ones are the best

      If I'm making the a day ahead should I store them in the fridge? If so how should I reheat them?

        If frozen, thaw then warm in the oven for 10 minutes.

      I have made these several times. My new things last few years to take wherever I am taking a dish! My question was can you make the day before? I saw someone put cayenne pepper on the brown sugar so going to try them this weekend to test before making for a Church event in two weeks! These do usually go fast!!

        Yes, you can! We have had others prep in advance and even freeze.

      I made both brown sugar ones & parmasan. I must have done something wrong. Mine don’t seem to have any flavor. Used Club crackers & Hormel bacon. I did just take them out of the oven. I’ll try them again once cooled. These are supposed to be for thanksgiving. I hope the flavor comes thru once cooled!!!
