Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin lightly with cooking spray or oil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually mix in diced pickles, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, pickle juice, and fresh dill. Blend until smooth.
  4. Cut each bacon strip in half lengthwise to yield 24 strips for wrapping.
  5. Take approximately 1 tablespoon of the filling and place it at one end of each bacon strip. Roll tightly and tuck in the edges.
  6. Place each bacon roll-up into the greased mini muffin tin and bake for 40-45 minutes until crispy and golden.
  7. Allow the bacon shots to cool in the tin for about 3-5 minutes before serving.
