Bacon Roll Ups

Ingredients

• 1 (1 pound) loaf sandwich bread*
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 teas garlic powder
• 1 teas dried parsley
• 1 pound bacon, cut in half

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a baking sheet. Cut the crusts off of the bread slices, then cut each piece of bread into three equal rectangles. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic powder and parsley. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on each bread rectangle and roll it up (like a sleeping bag looks rolled up). Wrap a slice of bacon around each of the bread rolls and secure them with toothpicks. Arrange the roll ups on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the bacon is crisp, approximately 10 minutes. Makes: 25 roll ups.
