Bacon

One cannot truly compete with the Bacon Pig...but I have to admit, my Bacon Explosion is quite yummy.

It has a woven mat of Bacon in which is a pound of spicy sausage, a pound of ground beef mixed with chipotle peppers, pineapple and chedder cheese, and a pound of bacon fried up and sprinkled. Spices include Tony Chachery's cajun rub and ground chipotle peppers, and BBQ sauce.

Drat, now I'm hungry...

Enjoy!

I heard that Shakespeare actually wrote Bacon's quips.

I heard they did the first graphic novel and called it:

The Bacon Strip...

This was published in today's local paper, although apparently it was first published way back on the 7th in others. It sounds so good and will need to be made at some point.

Caramel Bacon Peanut Bark

Start to finish: 30 minutes, plus cooling

Servings: 24

12 ounces maple or brown sugar bacon
Two 12-ounce packages milk chocolate bits
1 1/2 cups chopped peanuts (salted or not)
10-ounce bag soft candy caramels
Large flake sea salt

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.

Heat a large saute pan over medium-high. Working in batches, add the bacon and cook until very crisp, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then repeat with remaining bacon. Set aside to cool completely. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Place the chocolate bits in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds, or until melted and smooth. Pour the chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, then tap it on the counter to settle the chocolate into an even, smooth puddle.

Immediately sprinkle the peanuts and bacon evenly over the chocolate. Allow the chocolate to fully harden, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the caramels in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds, or until melted and smooth. Drizzle the caramel over the bark, then sprinkle lightly with the sea salt. Allow to cool and harden, then break into pieces.

I just saw this on Facebook. What a fantastic idea for a salad.

The method says to spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and then bake in a 350 degree oven until it crisps up enough to hold its shape. Drain over paper towels upside down on a rack inserted in a baking pan or on a broiler pan.

I wonder if a larger metal bowl shaped mold could be used.

Well, for those who won't do the eggnog, now there is a milkshake.

I just read on another forum that Denny's offered a milk shake last year that had bacon bits in it. Did anyone try that version? I did not hear about it at the time. Or if it was posted here, I don't recall it...
