Michelle's bacon-wrapped-cream cheese-toast

Last year for Christmas I remembered my Aunt Michelle making the most delicious appetizer! Not only was I going to make it, but I made it for breakfast, all of us snacked on it throughout the day!

YUMMM! Mouth watering!

You will need:
-Baking sheet
-1LB Bacon (we use Oscar Mayer Center Cut)
-1 Brick of plain cream cheese (NO LOW FAT!!!)
-1 Loaf of white bread (we use the cheap stuff for this)
-Toothpicks

How to Prepare:
1) Preheat oven to 400
2) Cut crust off bread and cut each slice into two equal pieces (rectangle pieces no triangles)
3) Smear softened cream cheese on bread (like you would with butter), and roll your bread like a sleeping bag
4) Cut bacon strips in half and wrap around bread like a blanket to keep it snug (make sure it overlaps)
5) Stick toothpick through overlapped bacon and out the other end
6) Bake 15-20 minutes or until bacon is fully cooked

This is no diet recipe and the clean up is super easy... Why, you may ask... because all the bacon grease is soaked up into the bread and the cream cheese slowly melts leaving the bread crispy and the cream cheese warm and melty..

 I hope you enjoy!!!

Quick BBQ Sausage Pizza

It's not necessarily the prettiest picture, as I'm feeling a bit under the weather tonight :( However it is a huge hit at my house!

You will need:
-1 can Pillsbury Pizza Crust
-BBQ Sauce (as much as you like, we don't like it too saucy)
-2 handfulls Mozzarella Cheese
-1/2 cup chopped yellow or sweet onions
-1/2 cup chopped green bell peppers
-1 package Hillshire Farm Keilbasa, or Smoked Sausage (I also use Turkey Keilbasa or Turkey Sausage) chopped into equal sized pieces
-Baking sheet
-Medium Skillet

To Make:
1) Preheat oven to 400
2) In skillet combine peppers, onions, and sausage, cook until desired texture... we like ours a little more cooked so the sausage gets a little crunch to it.
3) Spread pizza dough over a baking sheet, and poke holes to prevent bubbles from forming
4) Bake for 10 minutes or until crust is mostly cooked (it won't have the wet look anymore) and will start to fluff up
4) Spread BBQ sauce over cooked dough and sprinkle one handful of cheese. Top with sausage peppers and onion mixture and with the remainder of the cheese.
5) Put pizza back in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown
6) LET COOL!!! Nothing worse that having that HOT barbecue sauce burn your mouth!

This recipe is also good with chicken!
