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! _________________ Proud father of G-minor and the Bean |

Well, 51% of the people who have voted on Bacon Pig voted "Yes! The meal isn't right without it and I love it."
Not right before dinner, but we like to have some fresh made cinamon buns and coffee while we watch parades, and then later we'll skip a real lunch and have crudités, cheese, grapes, etc. Then eat bird at about 3. |
See, I could never get the kids on board for a big feast at lunchtime, or even midafternoon. So dinner's not 'til 6pm or so. So we can do lunch at lunchtime -- altho I usually resort to the cheese/crackers/veggies thing so that I can concentrate on the bird. I guess it's all in what you call it.
I will say that the Bacon Pig is kind of cute... _________________

Yeah, my family use to have a meal of crackers and cheese for lunch on Thanksgiving. It was great! _________________ 'Tis dream to think that Reason can

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. _________________

This makes eating an all-belly porchetta somewhat akin to consuming an aromatic, crispy, salty slab of awesome seasoned with He-Man. Or something like that. You get the picture. |

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.
wtop.com wrote: | WASHINGTON - Now bacon lovers can get their fix through a straw.
The restaurant chain Jack in the Box is offering customers the option of a bacon milkshake. The creamy concoction doesn't include actual bacon, but rather a bacon-flavored syrup mixed with vanilla ice cream and capped off by whipped topping and a maraschino cherry.
As for its nutrition rundown, a 24-ounce shake includes 1,081 calories, 37 grams of saturated fat, 3 grams of trans fat and 108 grams of sugar.
Jack in the Box is now in 20 states, although there are none in D.C., Maryland or Virginia. Area residents with a bacon shake craving should head to North Carolina for the closest Jack in the Box.
One more tip: The limited-time offering is not listed on restaurant menus. Customers have to ask for it. |

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... _________________
