Cheese and Bacon Buns

You may have noticed that the majority of recipes I post on this blog are not calorie conscious.

BUT they are delicious – and life’s too short to miss out on delicious right?

These cheese and bacon buns are no exception:

My Dad used to make these cheese and bacon buns all the time and store them in the freezer.

No magic ingredients here.
No special techniques or detailed instructions needed.

That’s it! Pre-cooked bacon, hot dog buns and a jar of Cheez Whiz. If you’ve got teens or tweens, this is the simple snack to have on-hand over March break. They can pull a couple out of the freezer and pop them into the toaster oven.

You can add a bit of dry mustard to the Cheez Whiz before spreading if you want to zing it up a notch.

Cut up your bacon (pre-cooked) and place a few on each cheese and bacon bun. Store in an air-tight container with layers of wax paper in between.

Make a large batch and store in the freezer.

My Dad puts the cheese and bacon buns in the oven at 375° for 7 to 8 minutes – just until they are thawed – then turns on the broiler to toast them and melt the cheese.

Keep watch until cheese starts to darken around the edges, it should only take a couple of minutes.
