    Bacon, Ranch and Cheddar…. a mouthwatering combination that everyone around here loves!

    instead of Garlic Salt, can Garlic Powder be used? Is there a loss of taste by doing that? Just looking for less salt options.

  3. Cajun Chef Ryan

    Hey Jenny, you can never go wrong with bacon! And cheddar is a perfect cheese to marry with bacon too!

    Bon appetite!

    I could eat this with a side salad and call it a meal….especially if that meant I could double up on these. Sounds sooo good!
