Love this recipe! I have been making them for a few years now and I use pastrami instead of ham (amazing combo with the cream cheese and pickle). I also melt the cream cheese a little to make it easier to spread and spread it on the pastrami instead of the pickle first.

We have been making these for years! At first we get a strange look, but upon tasting, guest usually go back for seconds, thirds etc.. Easy, fast, and tasty snacks! Enjoy!

I like to use a flavored cream cheese in this recipe. This works with any deli meat you want, I like to use roast beef or deli ham. My family absolutely loves these.

Ok trying to be pc here so will change name, but when I got this recipe about 40 years ago they were called Pickle "Richards" For sure spread the cheese on the meat not the pickle and hot dills work great. The guys always cringe when the slicing starts.lol

A few tips I learned the hard way: It's important to dry off the meat before trying to spread the cheese on it, or the meat will tear. It's also important to chill the entire wrapped pickles before slicing, or the meat will pull off. I had a lot of trouble making these, so I don't know if I will attempt it again.

my family has been doing this ever since i was little, so at least 30 years! we use the rectangular shaped ham you get in the grocery store. it's best to pat the ham and pickles dry so they don't slide all over the place. we ALWAYS smear the cream cheese on the ham, NOT the pickle. it would be too difficult that way! we also double the ham, so it goes ham, cream cheese, ham, cream cheese, pickle. it makes for a better ratio of ham to pickle in my opinion. once they're all rolled up together, we stick them in the fridge for a few hours or overnight so that they'll be a lot easier to cut. these are so good!

My best friends Mom made has made these for years. I have found the crunchier the pickle the better. Everywhere I take them they are inhaled and I am asked how to make them.

We make these espcially when we go camping! We use the pickle spears instead and we don't slice them. They are a great simple snack!

Oh these are so good! I have made these since I was a little girl and they are so addicting. I normally use the chipped beef lunch meat, but ham is good as well. I smear the cream cheese on the meat first, then roll up. I cut them in pieces immediately with a sharp knife then put them in the fridge. At that time about half of them are already gone from me picking thru them and eating them lol! So addicting and delicious!
