Bacon Mac and Cheese Bites

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon Mac and Cheese Bites.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a 9-inch pie plate and give it a light spray with PAM® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray to ensure your delicious creations don’t stick.

3. Step 3

   Set it aside for now.

4. Step 4

   In a medium bowl, mix together your leftover mac and cheese with the chopped bacon, stirring until everything is well combined.

5. Step 5

   This savory filling is going to be the star of your dish! Next, unroll the pizza crust dough on a clean surface and gently press it out into a rectangle that measures about 15x9 inches.

6. Step 6

   With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 24 equal square pieces.

7. Step 7

   Now, take one of those squares and place a generous spoonful of the mac and cheese mixture right in the center.

8. Step 8

   Carefully gather the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch them together to create a little pocket of goodness.

9. Step 9

   Repeat this delightful process for all the squares, placing each sealed dough bomb seam-side down in your prepared pie plate.

10. Step 10

    Once all your bombs are nestled in, brush the tops with melted butter to give them a beautiful golden finish.

11. Step 11

    For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle them with parsley flakes and garlic powder.

12. Step 12

    Now it’s time to bake! Pop the pie plate into your preheated oven and let those dough bombs bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and irresistibly crispy.

13. Step 13

    When they’re done, carefully remove them from the oven and let them cool for just a moment before serving.

14. Step 14

    These warm, cheesy delights are perfect for dipping in ranch dressing, making them a fun and tasty treat for any occasion.

15. Step 15

    Enjoy every bite!.
