TKL-Fan (12:39:58) : PARMESAN BACON WRAPS

1 lb (or more) bacon, cut in half
1 box Club crackers or Waverly wafer crackers

Cut the bacon in half. I use a small baby
spoon and put a little parmesan cheese on
each cracker. Wrap 1/2 piece of bacon around
and put on rack over pan. (I usually use the
broiler rack that came with my oven, or
sometimes when I have all ovens and racks
going I use jelly roll pans with wire cooling
racks on top)Put these in a 250° oven (no
higher) and bake really slow for 1-1/2 to 2
hours until brown and crisp. Cool and freeze
until needed. To reheat just put in a 300
degree oven (thawed bacon wraps) just until
warm. I usually drain on paper towels before
putting out.
