Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Kielbasa cut into about 20 pieces (1-1.5 inches)
  • 10 slices bacon cut into half (trim if needed so bacon doesn’t wrap around kielbasa more than 1.5 times)
  • Toothpicks
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup mayo
  • 1 ounce ranch seasoning packet
  • Ranch dressing for dipping green onion for garnish

Instructions

  • Wrap a piece of bacon around each piece of kielbasa, making sure to extend the bacon above the top of the kielbasa, forming a little cup.
  • Secure the bacon with a toothpick.
  • In a large bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayo, and ranch seasoning packet.
  • Microwave this mixture for about 30 seconds, then stir to combine.
  • Place the mixture in a ziplock bag, then snip the tip and pipe the filling into each kielbasa cup. Alternatively, you can spoon some of this mixture into each kielbasa cup without using a ziplock bag.
  • Preheat your air-fryer to 340 degrees.
  • Once air-fryer is heated, arrange the bacon wrapped kielbasa bites on the tray/basket making sure to leave ample room around each one.
  • Cook for 15-16 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the tops are golden brown.
  • Serve with ranch dressing and chopped chives.
