These are a good start, however I felt they needed somethnig- they were a little bland. I experimented and had success with two additions: On one batch I spread about a teaspoon of Harry and David's pepper relish on each peice of white bread with the cream cheese before rolling them up. It added a nice little bit of sweetness and peppery flavor, which was nice. I brought them to a party and everyone loved them at at multiple peices. Then, I also did another batch, and sprinkled a little cayenne pepper on the outside of the bacon rolls and then rolled them in a little brown sugar. Again, the added ingedients gave the roll-ups a more balance flavor. Thank you for the original recipe. I will make them again, with my suggested additions.

I usually don't change up a recipe too much but I got some tips on this one beforehand and decided to do them. Same ingredients but with the addition of brown sugar. I cut the crusts off Wonder sandwich bread (about 20 slices), spread softened cream cheese on them, sliced them into thirds, rolled those up. Cut bacon slices in half, dredged them in brown sugar, rolled around the bread rolls, secured with toothpicks. Baked at 400 until just starting to brown. Turned broiler on and crisped them up. OMG-these were gone in a NY minute at a super bowl party. Had to recite the recipe several times. Simple ingredients. AMAZING results!!!!

I thought these were yummy and easy. Read some other reviews that they were bland. Not sure I agree. I did use multigrain bread and cream cheese with chives maybe that's why they're tastier? Either way, easy peasy and delish...

Love the simplicity of this app! I use pineapple cream cheese (or I mix a can of pineapple w/plain cream cheese). I roll out the bread with a rolling pin, spread the cream cheese, roll & then wrap with bacon. I make these ahead of time, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze them. I defrost these before baking and slice while still partially frozen - it is much easier & cleaner to cut these while firm than once cooked or right after you roll them. These are great to have on hand and each time I have made this app, they are gone within minutes & people always ask what they are and how to make them!

I loved the various textures of these. Crispy bread, creamy cheese, and bacon. I experimented a bit, and tried some with plain cream cheese, some with cheddar and cream cheese, some with garlic, and some sprinkled with brown sugar. Every single one of them was great. I did up the oven temp to 425 to cook the bacon faster without burning the bread.

I was skeptical, but these were amazing! I am kind of a snob about how my bacon is cooked (I only like it perfectly crispy or it grosses me out) and these turned out just right! I also worried the bread might be soggy, but that wasn't the case. I was having Mediterranean themed appetizers that night and this didn't fit, but I really wanted to make them anyway so I experimented and discovered I like them with roasted red peppers inside with the cream cheese (kind of a stretch, I know). I tried lots of variations earlier in the day and decided that I didn't like them as much if I added any seasoning because it just distracted from the main flavors. All the variations were still quite good, but none of them beat the plain simple ones--so why make it more complicated? I will make these without any additions from now on! Thanks for the great recipe!

This recipe was great! I love a recipe that calls for such a short ingredient list. I used Natures Pride Nutty Oat bread. I cut the bread up and spread them with cream cheese, I sprinkled them with Garlic Garlic from Tastefully Simple. I rolled them up wrapped them in bacon and sprinkled brown sugar on top. Delightful and easy!

This recipe was simple to make. Rolling up the bread and bacon got messy but not unbearable. I recommend buying good quality bacon. I went through 1.5 packages because some of my bacon was fatty and I did not want to use one strip of pure fat. Also, I baked the roll ups for 30 minutes at 350 and it did not seem like enough. I increased the temperature to 375 and baked another 10 minutes and they were perfect. Before I served them I pulled out the toothpicks because I did not want anyone to accidently pop one in their mouth with the toothpick still in it. I will defiantly make this again.

I have no idea how these taste because they were gone in 10 minutes! They were a huge hit and even the guys were asking for the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
