🧂 Ingredients:
Cream cheese (softened)
Ranch seasoning (to taste)
Shredded cheddar cheese
Real beef bacon bits
Whole pickles (the bigger, the better for stuffing)
🍽️ Directions:
Prep the pickles
Slice the pickles in half lengthwise.
Use a small spoon to scoop out the centers and create a little “pickle boat.”
Make the filling
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, a sprinkle of ranch seasoning, shredded cheddar, and beef bacon bits.
Stir until everything’s well combined and creamy.
Stuff the pickles
Fill each pickle half with the creamy bacon-cheese mixture. Pack it in nice and full!
Air fry magic
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Place stuffed pickles in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 6–8 minutes, or until the tops are golden and melty.
Serve ‘em hot!
Let them cool slightly (they’ll be molten inside!), then dig in.
Great on their own or with a dip like ranch or spicy mayo.
Want to kick it up a notch? Add chopped jalapeños to the filling for heat, or swap cheddar for pepper jack!
