Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup butter -- softened
1/4 cup favorite barbecue sauce
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese -- softened
1/2 cup cooked bacon (8-10 strips) -- finely chopped
3 slices pullman loaf white or egg bread* -- cut 1/2" thick

*A pullman loaf is a whole, unsliced loaf of bread. Slice horizontally to
obtain long, rectangular slices.

Combine softened butter with barbecue sauce and whip in a blender; set
aside.

Blend thoroughly cream cheese and bacon.

Trim the crusts from the bread. Flatten slightly with a rolling pin.
Spread a thin, even layer of the butter mixture on the bread slices. Next
spread approximately 1 cup of the cream cheese-bacon mixture on the bread.
Cut the bread slices in half crosswise. Roll the bread gently, jellyroll
fashion. Wrap the rolls in foil and freeze for a minimum of 2 hours. Cut
the rolls into 1/2-inch-wide slices. Thaw, arrange on a platter and serve
chilled. Makes 36.
