Tasty Tuesday: Super Easy Bulldog Bacon-Cheddar Bites


Tasty Tuesday...my most favorite day of the week!  I really love Tuesdays because I get to eat all of the food try out new recipes and share them with you.  This week, I want to share my latest creation with you:  Bulldog Bacon-Cheddar Bites.  Did you really think I would make a recipe without bacon?  I mean, come on, bacon is my favorite smell, taste, color, shape...you get the idea.  Mmm bacon....

First things first, preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F) and gather your ingredients:

1 c. Flour
1/2 c. Rolled Oats
2 Tbsp. Peanut Butter
1/2 c. Hot Water (not boiling!)
1/4 c. Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 Strip of Bacon cooked and crumbled

You can lick the bacon if you really want to, I won't tell.  Oh, and you don't really need a whisk for this recipe. I was just keeping it close by in case the pug decided to crash my baking session.


Next, combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and using your hands or paws, gently knead the ingredients until a soft dough forms.  I like to knead with my tongue.  It helps me taste the bacon get the right consistency.


Then, on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness.  I rolled mine to about 1/4" thick.  What?  You look like you've never seen a French Bulldog sitting on a counter using a rolling pin before.


Now, using a small cookie cutter (I used something similar to these ) cut out the bites and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.  Make sure to admire how beautiful those little bites look!



Bake them in the oven for 20 minutes (less time if you want them softer).  Beware of Bacon-Cheddar Bite Burglars.  You should guard your oven for the entire 20 minutes that the bites are baking.  I never take any chances when it comes to my Bacon-Cheddar Bites!


FINALLY, after all of that work, the bites are done.  Please make sure to let them cool completely before digging in - we wouldn't want any burned tongues!  (This in no way prohibits you from staring at them and pouting while they cool.)





ENJOY!


Here's the Recipe:

  3. This looks yuuuuuummy. I read, just yesterday, that some peanut butters now have xylitol in them, so check the ingredients. Sorry to be a poop.

    1. Thanks! Thinking about safety can never make you a party pooper (well, unless you are thinking about safety while you literally poop at a party, I guess)...thank you for sharing the information. I used organic peanut butter, but I think that you shared a great safety point for other readers. Thanks!
