Ingredients

    8 slice (6-1/4" x 4" x 1/16") Ham, regular (11% fat)
    1 serving Bacon, John Morrell, Hardwood Smoked Bacon (2 slices/17g)
    3 oz Cream Cheese

Tips

You can get creative with this and add a few olives or chives.


Directions

INSTRUCTIONS
Place the salami or ham down on a cutting board in overlapping rows 4x2.
Spread ½ package of cream cheese over the salami. If your cream cheese is too hard to spread with a knife, you can try placing it between two sheets of wax paper and rolling it flat with a rolling pin and then placing it onto the salami or ham.
Sprinkle 1½ teaspoons of the ranch seasoning on the cream cheese and sprinkle with ¼ cup black olives. (alternatively, you can blend seasonings into cream cheese before spreading).
Lay the strips of bacon across the cream cheese in the short direction.
Carefully roll the pinwheels - long side to long side, rolling as tightly as possible.
Hold the roll securely and cut into 1-2" pieces.
Serve as an appetizer or wrap each piece individually with plastic wrap for single-servings.
