If you’re someone who always reaches for extra pickles, you’re going to love what Hormel just launched. The brand just introduced a new flavor of pepperoni, and it’s something no one saw coming. It’s Dill Pickle Flavored Pepperoni. Yes, you heard that right. It’s spicy, salty, tangy, and everything a pickle and pepperoni fan could ask for.
We’ve seen all sorts of pickle trends recently. From pickle dips and pickle chips to people replacing sandwich bread with big pickles, it’s safe to say that pickles are having their moment. Now Hormel, known for bold snacks and unique creations, is riding that wave and giving us something totally original.
All About the New Dill Pickle Pepperoni
This new pepperoni is made from the same beef and pork blend that Hormel uses in their classic slices. But now it comes with a twist. A tangy, briny pickle flavor is mixed right into the meat. Each 5-ounce bag contains about 75 slices, and it’s ready to eat right out of the fridge.
So far, shoppers have spotted it at Kroger stores, and fans online are already freaking out. People are tagging friends on social media and saying things like, “I need this in my life!” and “We’re both going to need our own bags.” If you’re a fan of savory snacks, it might be time to stock up.
Fun Ways to Use Pickle Pepperoni
The most obvious way to enjoy this is to top it on a pizza. But why stop there? This is one of those ingredients that can add flavor to so many things. Toss a few slices on your next sub sandwich for a bold bite. Mix it into a grilled burger to get that tangy flavor in every bite.
You could even chop it up and stir it into pasta salad for a smoky and sour combo that stands out at any summer BBQ. Another fun idea? Add some slices to a cheesy casserole or throw them on a loaded flatbread.
Try It as a Snack Too
This pepperoni isn’t just for cooking. It also makes a great snack. You can roll it up with cream cheese for a quick and tasty bite. Or layer it with crackers and a slice of cheese for a spicy little treat.
Want something crunchy? Pop the slices in the oven and bake them into pepperoni chips. It only takes a few minutes. You can dip them in ranch or even go all out with a pickle dip for extra flavor.
Hormel’s Dill Pickle Pepperoni is definitely one of the wildest food mashups of the year. Keep an eye out for it during your next grocery trip and grab a bag while you can.
