bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon reduces fat content while maintaining a similar flavor.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while still melting well.

ranch dressing

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt dressing

💰Cheaper: homemade ranch with mayo

Greek yogurt dressing is lower in calories and adds creaminess.

slider buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: regular hamburger buns

Whole grain buns add fiber without sacrificing taste.

Cook an entire pack of bacon until crispy and set it aside, removing most of the fat.

Cook a diced chicken breast in the bacon fat, seasoned with onion salt and garlic powder, for about 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, add in a diced onion and diced jalapeno; cook for about 6 more minutes.

Add in 1 block of cream cheese and mix it in.

Stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream until well combined.

Add in 1 packet of ranch seasoning and mix it in thoroughly.

Add half of the cooked bacon back into the creamy chicken mixture and stir.

Slice Hawaiian rolls in half to create a top and bottom.

Add the creamy chicken mixture evenly onto the bottom halves of the rolls.

Top with the remaining bacon and then add pepper jack cheese on top.

Drizzle melted butter over the top and season with garlic powder and onion salt.

Serve warm and enjoy.
