How to Make Four Bacon Wrapped Appetizers

One of the TV chef's that we all know and love has been known to shout "Pork Fat Rules!" In that spirit I have always loved Bacon and find it hard to only eat it for breakfast or on the occasional sandwich. Today I will share with you three Bacon appetizers that are simple to make and delightful in flavor. I do not claim them to be low calorie or low fat, only full of robust flavor. Tailgate season is now and the Holiday parties will begin soon. I suggest you try these on the family first so You don't have to wait to eat them. I do suggest Deli Bacon for two reasons generally it is thicker and also it is drier both these attributes make these appetizers easier to assemble.
