Rye Bread Spread

7 slices bacon, fried crisp, chopped fine
2 green onions with tops, chopped fine
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped fine
1/3 cup  shredded Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup mayonnaise
Small can chopped black olives
Couple of shakes Texas Pete (optional)

1 loaf party rye (baguette slices will work fine, too)

Mix all the spread ingredients together. Can be made one or two days ahead and refrigerated.

Just before serving, spread on bread.

Bake at 375 for 10 minutes or broil 2 minutes until light brown and hot.

Eat up!

Double the recipe. Leftover spread will keep in the fridge for a few days.
