Instructions
Creating your Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches can be an enjoyable process. Follow these steps to ensure perfect results:
1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, bacon bits, chopped green onion, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
2. Add Seasonings: Stir in salt, pepper, and dill if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
3. Optional Creaminess: If you prefer a creamier filling, add 1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and mix thoroughly.
4. Assemble the Sandwiches: Take a Ritz cracker, spread a generous amount of the filling on it, and top with another Ritz cracker to create a sandwich. Press down lightly so the filling adheres.
5. Repeat: Continue this process until you have assembled all the sandwiches. Use additional crackers as needed for the leftover filling.
6. Chill: Place the sandwiches on a platter and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
7. Slice for Serving: Just before serving, slice each sandwich in half or into quarters for easier consumption.
8. Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, garnish with additional green onions or herbs if desired.
