Last Christmas, my colleagues and I at Southern Living decided to dig into our magazine archives to plan the menu for our annual party. While all the recipes were tasty, one stood out as the clear favorite: Cheese-Bacon Crispies. I’ve been making it on repeat ever since.

Cheese-Bacon Crispies: The Must-Try Appetizer
Reminiscent of cheese straws but much simpler, these bacon-infused delights are a breeze to make. The dough is rolled into a log, frozen, and then sliced into rounds, similar to slice-and-bake cookies.
Why I Love Cheese-Bacon Crispies
Here are my top three reasons for being obsessed with these savory treats:
1. No need for a mixer: This recipe requires only a bowl for stirring, making cleanup a breeze without the need for heavy equipment.
2. Minimal ingredients: With just 8 pantry staples like butter, cheese, bacon, and seasonings, you likely have everything on hand already.
3. Make ahead: The dough can be chilled or frozen, allowing you to prepare these appetizers well in advance for any gathering.
Are Cheese-Bacon Crispies the Ultimate Appetizer?
While cheese straws and sausage balls have their own charm, the addition of bacon in Cheese-Bacon Crispies sets them apart. Plus, they are much easier to make, offering a quick-fix option for your party needs.
