First, cook the bacon. Chop it into small pieces. You can add 1/2 cup of bacon bits instead. Set this aside.
6 slices bacon
In a mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese with a handheld mixer. Scrape down the sides with a spatula and beat again. Add ranch, beat, scrape down sides, and beat again.
8 oz room temperature cream cheese, 2 tablespoons ranch
Chop the pickles into small pieces to get 1/4 cup. Use a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. Chop the green onion too. Fold in the pickles, green onion, bacon, and cheese into the cream cheese mixture.
1/4 cup chopped pickles , 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese finely grated, 1 green onion
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a cracker upside down. Use a scooper to scoop about one tablespoon of the filling on the cracker. Top it with another cracker. Repeat until all the filling is gone, which should give you 24 sandwiches.
48 ritz crackers
After all the sandwiches are made, set them on a board to serve at a party as an appetizer. Though they may get soggy, keep leftovers in the fridge. Enjoy!
