SnackBacon-wrapped Pickles
Just more proof that I will wrap pretty much anything in bacon.
Breanna StarkIngredients
- 8 Dill Pickle Spears
- 4 tbsp Blazing Star Reaper Rub
- 8 slices Bacon
Instructions
- 1So, technically this first step is optional, but it’s highly recommended… I started by adding 3 tbsp of the Blazing Star BBQ Reaper Rub to a jar of pickle spears and then let it sit in the fridge for a few days to infuse them with that Carolina reaper flavor.
- 2Wrap each pickle in a slice of bacon. I used thick-cut because it’s all I had on hand, but I recommend using regular-cut bacon.
- 3Sprinkle a little more Reaper Rub on top of the bacon (or whatever BBQ rub you have handy).
- 4Grill directly on the grates at 300°F for about 45 minutes, or until the bacon is crisped to your liking.
- 5Serve alongside ranch dressing and enjoy!

Open in Pepper →Why Lettuce Cups Beat Bread for Lunch
A tortilla wrap = 30+ carbs before any filling. Swap to butter lettuce, romaine boats, or a low-carb tortilla and the same lunch lands at 5g, with crunch the bread couldn't deliver.
Lettuce-cup formats also force lighter fillings — seasoned chicken, ground turkey, shrimp, BLT mixes — that hold their flavor better and pack cleanly for lunch.
The low-carb wraps the Pepper community returns to again and again are those that seamlessly integrate into busy household routines.
Quick Tips
- 1
Butter or iceberg lettuce
Romaine cracks. Butter and iceberg cup the filling without breaking when you pick them up.
- 2
Drain the filling well
Watery filling = soggy lettuce. Drain seasoned meat for 2 minutes before assembling.
- 3
Sauce on the side
Lettuce wraps get sad fast under sauce. Dip-style or drizzle-at-the-table keeps them sharp.
- 4
Stack components, don't pre-roll
Bring them flat in a container, assemble at the table. Pre-rolled wilts.
