Caesar Salad Bacon Cups

These easy to make Caesar Salad Bacon Cups are perfect for a busy weeknight dinner or even as an appetizer at a cookout, BBQ, potluck, or any other gathering. We often have guests on the Keto, Gluten Free, or Paleo diet plan – or just looking for lower carb options, and these can be a great option. Just be to sure to use Salad Dressing that fits the criteria, and eliminate the croutons or make them homemade with a Gluten Free Bread. You can check out my BLT Salad Recipe for directions on making Homemade Croutons.

Caesar Salad Bacon Cups Ingredients

• 1 pkg. Center Cut Bacon
• 1 pkg. Romaine Lettuce Mix
• Caesar Salad Dressing
• Parmesan Cheese, Shredded and Grated
• Croutons

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using a standard cupcake pan, turn upside down and cover the back side of it with foil. Cut 6 pieces of bacon in half and layer 2 pieces in an X shape over each tin. Take a whole piece of bacon and wrap around each tin. You can weave it under and over the other pieces. Make sure the two ends meet and overlap under one of the half pieces that is hanging down over the side of the tin.

Bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until bacon is cooked through. Remove from oven and let rest for about 15 minutes so the bacon hardens and won’t collapse when you remove it off the pan. Gently remove each bacon cup from the pan and place right side up, they will look like little cups.

Prepare salad with the rest of ingredients and gently toss together in a bowl.

Fill each bacon cup with salad mix. Serve right away and Enjoy!
