How do you like your bacon?

[perchbutt]

Any way you cook it!
Crunchy bits in my salad or mashed potatoes, soft bits in my pork-n-beans, crunchy w/ eggs.
One really good thing to do with it is generously throw some pepper and thyme on it in the morning; that afternoon fry it on up to not quite crunchy, saute chopped onion, tomatoes (sun-dried or otherwise), olives and toss it all into a pile of noodles (spaghetti or otherwise). Throw on some grated parm or asiago cheese.

Bacon-wrapped chicken livers, sprinkled with seasoned salt and fresh-ground black pepper and cooked in a gas grill with a smoker box until the bacon is done.... Yummm. Drooling a bit just thinking about it. I've made these and taken them to lots of parties for appetizers and rarely brought any back home.

In homemade clam chowder and on a Cobb Salad. Had to make a BLT before I could post a response since you all made me hungry reading your posts! :-)

Dang it, guess I know what I'm fixing for lunch today, I know that new tomato out in the garden will be ready to pick.

I never can wait at the start of tomato season and always pick a couple of green tomatoes and make fried green tomatoes in some bacon grease. Crispy and golden brown on the outside...

Just put about 3 lb of halved cherry tomatoes on the food dehydrator. Sprinkled with a little black pepper- they smell great drying! Got at least that much more in the garden that's not ripe yet.

Large shrimp stuffed with crabmeat, wrapped in bacon and grilled!

OK, my arteries are starting to clog thinking about all the lovely treats made with bacon!!!

WVBF, what are you using dehydrated tomatoes in? Sounds cooler than canning and putting up sauces in the middle of a hot summer!

Never had bacon soup, I have had bacon as an additive in soup.


I like the 'bacon weave', you basically make a square out of many pieces of bacon, bake that in the oven for about 20min on 300 or until slightly crisped. Remove from the oven, fill with cheese, potatoes, breakfast sausage,roll like a log, place back in to the oven for a few minutes to heat the filling then slice and server .

Not too sure yet. Here are some ideas for using them as trail food.
