Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
2. Arrange bacon slices on the wire rack and bake for 12-15 minutes until partially cooked but still pliable. Remove from oven and let cool slightly until you can handle them.
Step 3
3. While bacon cools, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded Colby Jack, diced dill pickles, chopped fresh dill, pickle brine, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
4. Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise. Line each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin with one half-slice of bacon, pressing it against the sides to form a cup shape.
Step 5
5. Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into each bacon cup, filling to the top.
Step 6
6. Bake for 15-18 minutes until bacon is crispy and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 7
7. Let cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove from the muffin tin using a small offset spatula or butter knife.
Step 8
8. Top each shot with a hamburger pickle slice and garnish with extra chopped dill.
