Ingredients

4 bacon slices, finely cubed
1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeños
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dry thyme
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup sliced almonds, finely chopped
1 jalapeño washed, deseeded and finely cubed
1 package Totino’s™ Pizza Rolls™ supreme frozen pizza snacks

Directions

1

Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy and golden brown, for about 5 minutes. Set on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease.
2

With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, Monterey cheese, sour cream, garlic, thyme and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until all ingredients all fully combined, for about 2 minutes. Cover and refrigerate the mix for 1-2 hours, or overnight.
3

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the bacon, almonds and jalapeño. Set aside.
4

Form one large ball with the cheese mix. Roll it around in the bacon mix until the entire surface is coated.
5

Prepare the Totino’s™ Pizza Rolls™ according to package instructions, and serve.
