A great recipe for pickle lovers! Very easy to make and easy to vary the meat and flavour of cream cheese. I don’t care for beef so I used salami and cream cheese as the first wrap around the pickle and then repeated but used lightly cooked turkey bacon and they were quite delish
I’ve also made them with gherkins, cutting the ham in half lengthwise and then rolling.
I made these using Clausen pickles and ham. Only used one 8 oz pkg cream cheese. I took them to a potluck at church and they were gone in the blink of an eye! One of the girls wants me to make a batch for her. Thanks for the recipe.
This was devoured before the meal was served!!! Super tasty and perfect as finger food!
These were a huge hit with my crowd. I used a good quality roast beef from the deli. These were a cinch to make, too! Many raves for such a simple recipe! Thanks for sharing, Cheryl Lowther!
These are so good. Period. Used Claussens and also dried off any moisture on the beef for easier spreading. Addicting.
My kids love to make these AND eat them. It’s a good snack for after school.
A little bit messy. Flavour nothing special.
I love these! This is my first attempt at making them. I just hope there are some leftover to take to the party tonight!
My grandmother makes these for all of our family get togethers. If she doesnt i do. They are always a hit! The key to this little appetizer is Clausen Dill pickles in the cold section and also we have always used ham. Another good thing to do is mix a bunch of green onions(minced) in with the cream cheese and roll that up in the ham by itself or even with a pickle! yummy!
Make a lot of these because they will diappear! I subsituted ham since I’m not a big fan of packaged beef. It looks like an odd recipe, but trust me, they are delicious. I made these for a chuch event and people were wrapping them up to take home. Yum!
Very good. Extremely easy to make. Makes a pretty and delicious appetizer! I made mine with home made pickles…yum!
AWESOME!! glad I came across this recipe. I could not think of what to take to a holiday party. I added shredded sharp cheddar cheese and used ham and roast beef !! I will be making this over and over
Someone always brings these to family holiday parties and events – never any left over! We use the Carl Budding corned beef thin lunch meat. Be sure to let the cream cheese come to room temperature, or you’ll tear the thin meat when you go to spread it on. Yum!!
Took these to ladies poker and they were a total hit! The pickle looked like little Christmas trees for our Christmas celebration. I have been making ham rolls for years, but the pickle totally makes them! Thank you!!
These were a huge hit with my husband and kids! Definitely need to make more next time though because they were gone FAST!
I grew up on these snacks, my mom made them for every family get together and when company came over. I love them!!
The quality of these really depends upon the quality of the pickles. I like to use barrel pickles. I used turkey ham. Very good. Friend told me I had to make them everyytime for football games !
Love these. Simple recipe. I crave these quite often. Can’t get a simpler idea. 🙂
I have made this in the past and they are soooo good! I used whole dill pickles instead of spears and sliced ham lunch meat rather than beef.
This was a hit at our daughter’s baptism after-party. I will serve these again for family gatherings; they went fast!
