Description
Smoky, gooey, and wildly addictive—these BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks are your new favorite party snack. Melty mozzarella is wrapped in crispy bacon, brushed with BBQ sauce, and grilled or baked to perfection. It’s sweet, salty, and cheesy in every irresistible bite.
Ingredients
• 10 mozzarella string cheese sticks
• 10 slices of bacon (thin cut works best)
• ½ cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for caramelized finish)
• Toothpicks or skewers
Instructions
Prep the Cheese: Cut mozzarella sticks in half if desired for smaller bites.
Wrap: Tightly wrap each cheese stick with a slice of bacon. Secure with toothpicks or thread onto skewers.
BBQ Glaze: Brush each wrapped stick with BBQ sauce. Sprinkle with brown sugar for a sweet, sticky finish (optional).
Cook:
• Oven: Bake at 400°F (200°C) on a foil-lined sheet for 20–25 minutes, flipping once.
• Grill/Air Fryer: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes until bacon is crisp and cheese is just starting to melt.
Serve: Let cool slightly, then serve warm with extra BBQ sauce for dipping.
