Bacon Wrapped Breadsticks
I’ve been making this EASY BACON appetizer for years. The original recipe is from Paula Deen, and they can be made a day or two before you need them. I added cayenne (for heat) and fresh nutmeg to the original mix. Paula Deen likes sesame seed breadsticks because the seeds help hold on the bacon, but sometimes I use cheese-flavored breadsticks for that extra punch.
