Ingredients
  

  • 35 rectangle crackers Townhouse, 1 sleeve
  • 10-12 oz cream cheese Cold
  • 8 slices thick cut bacon cut into fourths
  • 1 tbsp sweet bbq rub
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Pickled jalapeno slices

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Lay club crackers in rows on parchment. (You can set them on a wire rack or a cooling rack over the parchment if you'd like.)
    35 rectangle crackers
  • Pull cream cheese from refrigerator and cut thin slices and place one slice on each cracker. It will be easier to cut if it's cold vs. room temperature.
    10-12 oz cream cheese
  • Sprinkle cream cheese lightly with bbq rub - I like Historic BBQ Red.
    1 tbsp sweet bbq rub
  • Cut each slice of bacon into fourths.
    8 slices thick cut bacon
  • Then top each piece of cream cheese with sliced bacon pieces. Sprinkle each piece of bacon lightly with brown sugar.
    1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Top brown sugar with a slice of pickled jalapeño
    Pickled jalapeno slices
  • Place baking sheet into preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the bacon is cooked through to your liking.
  • Remove baking sheet from the oven and let rest for five minutes to firm up cream cheese and serve warm.
