Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water. Cut each cucumber into 1-inch thick slices.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, dill weed, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

    Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each cucumber slice with the cream cheese mixture.

    Slice each cocktail sausage into halves or thirds (depending on size). Place a piece of sausage on top of each filled cucumber slice.

  3. 5

    Secure with Toothpicks

    Insert a toothpick through the sausage and cucumber to hold everything together.
