Perfect for any occasion, these easy-to-make snacks offer a harmonious blend of tangy and savory flavors that delight guests with minimal prep.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Cream Cheese – 8 oz (softened)
  • Worcestershire Sauce – 1 tablespoon

Flavor Add-ins

  • Green Onions – 2 stalks, finely chopped
  • Crumbled Bacon – 6 slices, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • Cheddar Cheese – 1 cup, shredded

Serving Base

  • Ritz Crackers – 1 sleeve (~32 crackers)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating the flavorful base for your appetizers.
  2. Add Flavorful Ingredients: Fold in finely chopped green onions, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly to ensure the savory and cheesy flavors are evenly distributed throughout.
  3. Assemble on Crackers: Using a small spoon or knife, spread a generous dollop of the cream cheese mixture onto each Ritz cracker, making sure every bite is packed with flavor.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Place the assembled appetizers in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step helps the flavors meld and firms up the mixture for easy munching.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free mixture.
  • Drain cooked bacon well to avoid soggy appetizers.
  • Use a small scoop or spoon for consistent portions and appealing bites.
  • Don’t skip chilling; it enhances flavor and makes serving easier.
  • Prepare the mixture and assemble a day ahead, storing topping and crackers separately to keep crackers crisp.
