These are fab! A few tips to make them easier: smear softened cream cheese on the meat (intead of pickle), place wrapped pickles back in fridge for about an hour and then cut. Use a variety of meats, pickles, and cheeses. Sweet pickle with a turkey wrap is tasty. Have fun & play with your food!

these are SO good. My sister first made them a few years back and although I am not a fan of dill pickles, I love this appetizer. I could eat them all the time. My personal favorite it ham - the thicker imported ham slices. I add a tad bit of horseradish to the cream cheese too. A recommendation so it isn't so messy. Dry off the ham slices first and spead the cheese on the ham, not the pickles. Very easy and YUMMY!!!

Very good & easy app. I make other rolls like these using Buddig corned beef, cream cheese & chopped green onion. So what I did was chopped the pickle added it to the cream cheese & spread it on 2 slices of Buddig honey ham then rolled it. The guys always count on me making these, now I have a little variety. Thanks Linda!

My grandma has been making a similar snack for years. But she calls it Dill Pickle Dip. Instead of putting the pickle in whole, she chops up the pickles and mixes them with cream cheese, a little pickle juice and a dash of salt creating a dip. She sometimes spreads it across bolonga, but she usually serves it as a dip with chips, pretzels, etc. It's been a staple in our family for years!!

This is a great snack - always the first to go at a party! Spreading the cream cheese on the ham is much easier, I also put garlic powder on the cream cheese once it's spread on the ham - couldn't imagine it without the garlic!

I've been making these since I was ten. We use thin deli-sliced ham, spread the cream cheese on the meat, and either cut into slices or serve them whole. They go faster than anything. They are simple to make and incredibly delicious!

Pretty good! I made half with ham and half with roast beef. I also kicked it up a bit by adding about 1 tsp each of Dijon mustard and horseradish to the cream cheese. They are very messy to prepare. I also only used one 8 ounce cream cheese versus the 2 packages. This was plenty of cream cheese. Can't imagine double the amount. Also more time consuming then expected.

I've been making these for years and they are always well received. I use the dried beef (rinsed and dried), spread the cream cheese on the beef and wrap big Claussen dills. I then refrigerate them so the cheese sets up and then slice them into 3/4" slices. I keep the ends for "family eats" and serve the rest.

One of my roommates introduced me to this recipe awhile back and now all of our friends make it. We use sliced ham instead of beef and it is easier if you spread the cream cheese on the meat instead of the pickle. Everytime I bring this to a party, they are usually gone in seconds.

my family has been doing this ever since i was little, so at least 30 years! we use the rectangular shaped ham you get in the grocery store. it's best to pat the ham and pickles dry so they don't slide all over the place. we ALWAYS smear the cream cheese on the ham, NOT the pickle. it would be too difficult that way! we also double the ham, so it goes ham, cream cheese, ham, cream cheese, pickle. it makes for a better ratio of ham to pickle in my opinion. once they're all rolled up together, we stick them in the fridge for a few hours or overnight so that they'll be a lot easier to cut. these are so good!
12/05/2011
I like to use a flavored cream cheese in this recipe. This works with any deli meat you want, I like to use roast beef or deli ham. My family absolutely loves these.
01/19/2011
These were extremely tasty, and so easy to make! I made them for a work event and they were gone very fast. One thing I do recommend is to spread the cream cheese on the ham, which should be patted dry as well as the pickles. Other than that, awesome recipe!
04/26/2007
I do this with ham, in the exact same way. I wrap my rollups in aluminum *tightly* and refridgerate overnight to make cutting super easy. It also helps if you stick the knife in the freezer before slicing.
11/15/2002
This is a "kid approved" recipe. (at least in my house anyway, but I don't mean to generalize). There are no PICKY eaters here as my hubby and my two young beauties will eat almost anything. (I'm so blessed)! These were great, easy and versatile enough to add any seasoning or spice you desire to spice it up. Thanks Linda; by the way; nice name. tee, hee!
10/29/2011
A few tips I learned the hard way: It's important to dry off the meat before trying to spread the cheese on it, or the meat will tear. It's also important to chill the entire wrapped pickles before slicing, or the meat will pull off. I had a lot of trouble making these, so I don't know if I will attempt it again.
10/23/2005
I've been making these appetizers for many years and it's one of my favorites. I add a little horseradish, garlic powder and a drop of Tabasco to the cream cheese for flavor. One thing, tho....I am trying to imagine why anyone would try to smear cream cheese around a pickle when all you have to do is spread the cheese on the meat slice and roll the pickle up in it. Different strokes, I guess. I've made these with roast beef, dried beef, ham and smoked turkey. My favorite is dried beef, but all are good.
10/13/2003
Excellent! Everyone loved them. Just make sure they stay COLD or they are not good. We put them in a metal bowl and put that bowl in a larger bowl full of ice. I had no problems spreading the cream cheese on the pickles (I thought it was easier then spreading it on the meat because the meat just tore.) and then wrapping the ham. Definately goes in my recipe book!
11/04/2006
I don't have patience to spread cream cheese on a damp pickle so I did it in layers----first the tortilla then place the meat on that - then more cream cheese on the meat and then the pickle. Less hassle but same great results - these are a hit for any ocassion.
07/02/2008
I use a variation of this recipe. Instead of the sliced beef, I use dried beef from the deli, not the processed stuff in the lunchmeat department. Also, it is much easier to spread the cream cheese on the meat and then wrap it around the pickle. You can also use the soft cream cheese in a tub instead of the packaged cream cheese, just don't used the whipped cream cheese.
09/20/2002
Sounds awful, but tastes great. When I am pressed for time, I put the pickles through my food processor, add them to the softened cream cheese, and use as a spread on thin ham slices. Adding a little pimento zips it up a little also.
01/08/2003
I've made these pickles a million times. I use pastrami slices for a bit of kicked up flavor. I've made them in a moment's notice by warming the cream cheese in the microwave a bit before. It definitely is easier to spread the cheese on the meat slices. The red and green make it "festive" for the holidays.
02/12/2011
I found these at a get together and are absolutely amazing and addictive! Dry off a larger cut of ham, spread the cheese, add the pickle wrap and eat! NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM Thanks for the recipe Linda!
11/14/2002
I make these all the time, as a tasty side to my lunch! I use thinly sliced deli ham and wrapped in tortillas! I think I'm going to make them now for lunch....
11/04/2003
Good--but I recommend full-fat cream cheese with this one. I tried the light stuff and it just isn't the same to me.
10/16/2003
I could not wait to try this recipe! I'll admit, the ingredients looked gross together, but my college roomate and I used to stay up late and eat dill pickles with cheddar cheese all the time so I thought I'd give it a try!! This wasn't as good as that, but it came really close!! I also spread the cream cheese on turkey and sprinkled it with some garlic salt. I also used plain dill pickles, next time I'll pick up a jar of the zesty dill and see if they come out a little better!
04/26/2005
These are good, but even better with a sweet gherkin pickle. It isn't as "low carb" friendly that way, but the sweet pickle is a great flavor with the salty meat. A little more difficult to assemble because of the tiny pickle, but I just spread some cream cheese on each and then slice the meat into strips a little narrower than the pickle and wrap. No need to slice, one small gherkin is a perfect serving.
03/12/2009
These are REALLY addictive! My husband likes to make these and he always uses dried beef. You better make a lot because they go fast!
10/30/2011
Ok trying to be pc here so will change name, but when I got this recipe about 40 years ago they were called Pickle "Richards" For sure spread the cheese on the meat not the pickle and hot dills work great. The guys always cringe when the slicing starts.lol
11/12/2002
I have been making these for several years. They are wonderful and something I make for our family get togethers. Everyone loves them.
12/24/2006
We beg for these on special occasions in my family. We call them Hammy Pickles. We spread the cream cheese on the beef and then wrap the pickle. It is important to use smaller pickles, the larger ones make things more difficult. Yum yum.
09/26/2003
Great snack or appetizer. Hadn't thought of using ham, but will try that next time. Be sure to get the crisp, garlicky, refrigerated pickles. A true classic!
08/19/2003
This recipe was a big hit at a 12 year old girl's slumber party. I used ham instead of beef.
09/27/2003
Absolutely delicious! In addition to beef, I also made with ham, turkey, smoked turkey, and pastrami. Definitely spread the cream cheese on meat. It's a great flavor.
07/03/2004
Delicious! I added a pack of Garden Dill dip mix to the cream cheese before spreading.
01/07/2007
My husbands family always makes these. They call then picke rolls. But we use corned beef! The easiest way to spread the cream cheese onto the corned beef it to put the cream cheese into a pastry piping bag!!!!
04/21/2003
These are yummy, but I would definitely spread the cream cheese on the meat and not the pickle. Also, put a layer of cream cheese on each layer of meat. It makes a difference! The taste combination is great!
03/31/2009
This is a favorite in my family! We spread softened cream cheese on the beef, and sometimes do a double layer of that for a little extra oomph:) Everyone always fights for the leftover ends. Delicious!
12/30/2000
These are so-o-o-o easy! These are so-o-o-o good! This is my appetizer of the year. Everywhere I take them people gobble them up and ask for the recipe.
08/18/2000
My whole family loves these. I use sliced ham. I spread the cream cheese on the ham, add the pickle to one end and roll up jelly-roll style, then slice. The tray of these always comes home empty when taken to a party.
11/13/2002
My daughter loves these! I also make them wrapped in a tortilla...which is really good, and makes a great school lunch addition!
02/26/2012
Love this recipe! I have been making them for a few years now and I use pastrami instead of ham (amazing combo with the cream cheese and pickle). I also melt the cream cheese a little to make it easier to spread and spread it on the pastrami instead of the pickle first.
12/19/2002
I just popped on to add this recipe! My Mom made them over Thanksgiving and I couldn't stop eating them! They are absolutely addicting!! She used ham instead of beef... and I may try them using just cream cheese and tortillas with the pickle...many of my friends are not big on meat. But this is a must try! :)
05/24/2010
These were a pleasant surprise! 5 stars for ease of preparation & taste that I think would appeal to a lot of people (provided that they like pickles, of course!) I made these this past weekend as a last-minute appetizer to add to my spread for a baby shower I hosted for a friend, & they got eaten up! I used both roast beef & ham & I thought both were yummy, although I think roast beef was preferred by more people. Definitely a simple, no-fuss appetizer that's great for parties or snacking!
05/12/2010
This is my favorite snack. I use Budding Corned Beef to wrap my pickles.
01/01/2012
We have been making these for years! At first we get a strange look, but upon tasting, guest usually go back for seconds, thirds etc.. Easy, fast, and tasty snacks! Enjoy!
08/28/2003
Thank you for this recipe! My kids make one every day for lunch! I use turkey meat instead of beef.
04/03/2002
Simply deliciouis! Even the kids loved them! I will make these again and again!
10/25/2001
Very easy. Not a good one at the buffet, but not all bad.
09/18/2011
My best friends Mom made has made these for years. I have found the crunchier the pickle the better. Everywhere I take them they are inhaled and I am asked how to make them.
09/05/2006
Hmmm, interesting...not great, not bad either. These were a bit time consuming to make for something so simple. My guests were indifferent to these so I don't think I will make them again. Thanks anyway!
04/04/2007
I have been making these for years, after hesitantly tasting one (and then another, and another ...) at a company Christmas party. I use thin-sliced deli ham (blotted dry) and spread softened cream cheese on that. Then I take a pickle spear (also blotted dry) and roll them up. Refrigerate for about an hour, then slice. What a strange concept, but oh so delicious! Thanks for posting this recipe!
08/27/2001
We call these Pickle Dogs. We use them as appetizers at every occasion! They are so good and simple to make. I also use ham and spread the cream cheese on the ham and roll the pickle up.
11/28/2010
I liked these, but I've made them before and instead of ham I used salami. So my audience didn't really care for these since they liked the salami better.
12/19/2009
Surprisingly delicious! Honestly I thought this recipe sounded horrible, but it had such great reviews that I had to try it. I'm making these for a Christmas party tomorrow night, but I tested one first and they are so good! I patted the ham dry and spread the cream cheese on the ham as suggested by other reviewers. I also used 1/3 less fat cream cheese and I can't tell a difference in taste at all.
05/13/2002
I can't believe my 3 year old son ate this. I would have never imagined it, but he loves it.
03/22/2011
Oh these are so good! I have made these since I was a little girl and they are so addicting. I normally use the chipped beef lunch meat, but ham is good as well. I smear the cream cheese on the meat first, then roll up. I cut them in pieces immediately with a sharp knife then put them in the fridge. At that time about half of them are already gone from me picking thru them and eating them lol! So addicting and delicious!
02/12/2007
I made these for a BUNKO party and everyone loved them! They were a hit. They might be a little time consuming to make but so easy. I used one jar of baby dill pickles, a package each of turkey and ham Buddig (sp?) lunch meat and not quite one 8 oz block of cream cheese that was softened. These are great for the pickle lovers!
12/12/2000
This recipe is wonderful! Sounds weird, but they are GREAT!!! Not only did my entire family enjoy them at our Christmas get together, but so did all of the kids in my Sunday school class at church. In fact, several of the KIDS are asking for the recipe so they can make them at home. Thanks!
02/13/2002
A little difficult to make....but tasty!
05/17/2011
We make these espcially when we go camping! We use the pickle spears instead and we don't slice them. They are a great simple snack!
11/14/2002
I make these all the time, as a tasty side to my lunch! I use thinly sliced deli ham and wrapped in tortillas! I think I'm going to make them now for lunch....
02/26/2006
THese were good, but not as good as I'd hoped. I think I should have spread the cream cheese a little thicker
01/07/2010
These are soooo good! I love that they are a low-carb snack and low in points for Weight Watchers. My kids love them! I use the whipped cream cheese so make it easier.
02/11/2007
I made these with the Super Bowl spread. My daughter really liked them. I reduced the fat by using FF cream cheese. For variety, I used ham, roast beef, and turkey.
10/02/2006
I use ham for the lunch meat and it was a huge hit at my daughter's wedding reception.
07/22/2003
We love it with sliced ham too!!
08/17/2000
Delicious Also good made with Baked Ham and add a little mustard also
12/22/2009
My mom made these for my sister & I for our lunches while in elementary school. Even picky 5th graders wanted to trade foods with us to get some of these! P.S. - We prefer ham instead of beef.
07/30/2006
A friend's Mom always made these and they quickly became a childhood favorite! Glad to be reminded of them again.
01/04/2008
We call these picklewiches. They are always popular when I make them. My husband tries to snitch them before I get to serve him. I let him have the butts.
06/12/2010
I add some shredded, sharp cheddar cheese and finely chopped green onion (use the green part, too) to the cream cheese (mix well) before spreading on ham slices. Grandkids (all ages) absolutely love this recipe....
01/02/2008
For pickle lovers, these are amazing! I served these at my New Years party using ham and they were a big hit. My suggestions would be-1)use soft spread cream cheese because I found it a bit difficult to spread on the meat and 2)use the smaller dill pickles. I bought the normal size and ended up cutting them in half. For presentation purposes I think it looks nicer with the round center. I will def. make these again!
03/05/2010
Yummy to eat. Messy to make.
10/04/2006
Made two batches... Buddig Beef with dill pickles and salami with sweet pickles... both were the first appetizers gone. Delicious!
10/28/2006
I thought these were great. I used ham and roast beef for the meat. Give them to a pregnant friend, they will probably love you for it!!
10/05/2006
My kids (as well as I) love these! I like pastrami or ham. We eat them faster than I can make them sometimes.
12/26/2006
My sister in law brings these to every get together, and we eat them up. She has used mini or jumbo pickles and they are always good.
09/28/2006
Just OK for me. I probably did something wrong.
06/27/2008
I spread the cream cheese on the meat before wrapping them. I layed a couple of these in front of hubby while he was talking on the phone, he stared at them with a strange look on his face! Then he took a couple of bites and fell in love! This is a neat little snack idea. Thanks!
08/05/2014
My family has been making a variation of this but with deli ham, pepperoncini and cream cheese. Same principal take the seeds out of pepper first though and drain on paper towel, so good!
12/29/2013
Very good. I used the refrigerated Claussen pickles to be certain the pickles were crunchy. The Buddig packaged meats are too small; I bought thinly sliced roast beef and ham at the deli and made half with the ham, half with roast beef. Great if your coworkers are on the Atkins diet!
12/27/2004
This is a matter of taste. I really liked them, but some of my guests didn't. Its best to cut the slices fairly thin, otherwise the dill pickle overpowers the beef and cheese. Thanks for the recipe.
11/02/2007
I make these all the time, for superbowl parties and my youth group get togethers. It takes time, but i spread the cream cheese right onto the ham and then wrap that in a pickle and stick a tooth pick in it to keep it together. It takes longer, but it is totally worth it. these are SOOO good and they're always gone in a couple of minutes :)
11/20/2008
I had these at a Thanksgiving luncheon and I loved them.I am going to make them for a get together and I am sure they will go fast.These appetizers are so simple and inexpensive
12/18/2014
I love making these! I personally use medium slices of ham, classen pickles and garden vegetable cream cheese! They are always gone extremely fast.
04/22/2015
Love these things, they remind me of my childhood!
12/23/2003
Sorry...thought these were lame. I guess they'd be ok if kids wanted something to make for fun...or maybe for the pregnant gals with pickle cravings!!!
02/20/2003
These were so easy and oh so good!!!
06/11/2010
Fun and yummy. I used mini dill pickles instead of cutting big pickles into pieces.
12/27/2009
Delicious! Very easy and good. Even the fussy children loved these.
02/17/2014
Ebony loves Pickles! I made these for a Superbowl party! Though the slathering of cream cheese around the pickle was a bit messy they turned out pretty good. My guests mentioned how good they were over and over again. My niece who went to college in Iowa said that the locals eat these fancy pickles on a regular. I'll make these again. Great, easy party/snack recipe!
10/15/2004
Very tasty. I used the large sized dried beef in a jar..it was great tasting and perfectly sized for the pickles.
10/13/2010
I made these for for my daughters 1st birthday party i made a whole large pickle jar, and they were gone in 25 min!
12/04/2007
These sound so bizarre...so, I had to serve them at a Baby Shower. I had a little trouble convincing people to try them, but, those that did really liked them! I'll make them again! A variation of this I've been making for years replaces the Roast Beef with Ham and the pickles with scallions. Very yummy!
01/25/2005
This was incredibally good. But, it would have been better if I hadn't used giant pickles. So, make sure you use small ones...
03/21/2007
I think if I made these again I would finely chop the pickles and beef and mix with the cream cheese to make a spread and roll them up that way.
01/09/2011
This is good with corned beef deli slices or beef slices.
03/12/2013
I have been making these since I was a kid. So that's been 25+ yrs :). We called them Frog Eyes. A few tips I have learned over the yrs I will pass on to you. 1st: Make sure your meat is not too thin. (if it is too thin it will tear when you are trying to spread the cream cheese) 2nd: DRY off the ham. This will make the cream cheese spread easier. 3rd: Sweet pickles ROCK with this combination. Either use the mini or the regular size and half those suckers. 4th: I have found that a thicker layer of cream cheese tastes great. And make sure you let your cream cheese set out at room temp to soften up. This will surely make those "Frog Eyes" jump right off the plate!!
02/19/2004
I made these for a party and my guests just scarfed them up. Beware the recipe calculator--I bought way too much cream cheese, and not enough roast beef. Putting the rolls together was a bit challenging, I just used my hands and squeezed it all together.
