    Why This Recipe Works

    During my first year in college, my roomie and I had a few foods that we ate all the time. Vanilla ice cream with a heaping pile of gummy bears on top and grilled cheese sandwiches made with Texas toast were at the top of the list. Another favorite were these totally irresistible Pickle Rollups.

    We’d load up on ingredients at Hy-Vee and go back to our dorm room and eat rollup after rollup until all of the ingredients were gone. This is the simplest little snack/appetizer and I cannot even tell you how addicting and delicious they are.

    I learned post-college that Pickle Rollups are an ideal party food because they are super easy to make and guests will rave. Like, serious raving.

    The salty-sweet combination is so simple yet so tasty. Pickle Roll ups are easy, guest-pleasing appetizers that are great for parties or football games or any type of gathering. Or for dorm-room snacking.

    How To Make Pickle Rollups

    Lay four stacks of corned beef slices (2/stack) on a flat work surface. Top each with a thick layer of cream cheese (it does not have to be pretty) and a medium-sized dill pickle. It helps to pat the pickle dry with a paper towel first.

    Roll the corned beef slices around the pickles. The cream cheese will act as the delicious glue that holds everything together.

    Ingredients

    • 8 slices corned beef lunch meat
    • 4 oz cream cheese softened
    • 4 med dill pickles

    Instructions

    • Lay corned beef in stacks of two on a hard surface.
    • Spread 1 ounce of cream cheese onto each stack. Place a pickle directly in the center of each. Roll corned beef around the pickles and cut each roll into four equal parts.

    Notes

    • Allow cream cheese to sit out prior to preparing your roll-ups up to an hour ahead so it’s ready to spread. 
    • Corned Beef lunch meat can be substituted for ham or turkey.
    • Once you have sliced your pickles into roll-ups, place them back in the fridge so the cream cheese firms up on your bite size pieces.

      I just made these with fresh dill and chopped garlic added to the cream cheese.
      The cream cheese spreads much easier of you let it sit out at room temperature for a couple of hours. Once I roll them I put them in the refrigerator for about an hour to stiffen up the cream cheese before slicing them.
      They are delicious, Thank you.

      Thanks for the idea and associated tips! I’m making mine with seasoned roast beef and dill spears (instead of rounds).

      How do you keep the corned beef from ripping all up when spreading on the cream cheese?

        Just keeping it room temperature and light pressure seems to do the trick!

        That is why you put two pieces of corned beef so it doesn’t tear as much. If you use turkey or roast beef they are thicker. Just make sure the cream cheese is softened and spread lightly.

      What’s the trick to preventing them from ripping and getting ruined when you cut? Mine are so messy!

        Your cream cheese has to be really soft, room temperature and sometimes its worth it to buy a thicker cut of deli meat. But they are so good so I don’t mind taking my time with them!
