-
8 whole dill pickles1

6 ounces of your favorite deli meat (ham, roast beef, corned beef, or pastrami work great)12
-
One 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened1
-
: Remove the pickles from the jar and place them on a paper towel to dry off a bit. This helps prevent the roll-ups from getting soggy14.
-
: Lay a few slices of deli meat on a cutting board. Spread a thin, even layer of softened cream cheese over each slice. Make sure the cream cheese is softened to make it easier to spread1.
-
: Place a pickle on one end of the cream cheese-covered meat and roll it up tightly. The cream cheese acts as a “glue” to hold everything together2.
-
: Wrap the roll-ups tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least two hours. This makes them easier to slice1.
-
