Ingredients:
12 mozzarella sticks
12 slices of bacon
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
Toothpicks (for securing the bacon)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wrap the Mozzarella Sticks:
Take each mozzarella stick and wrap one slice of bacon around it, starting from the bottom and spiraling up to the top. Make sure to cover the stick as much as possible. Secure the end of the bacon with a toothpick to keep it in place.
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
Place the bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the toothpick ends are facing down to help keep the bacon wrapped during cooking.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese starts to ooze out. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Add BBQ Sauce:
Remove the mozzarella sticks from the oven and brush them with your favorite BBQ sauce while they are still hot. Return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the sauce set.
Serve:
Allow the sticks to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks with extra BBQ sauce for dipping!
