So I was sitting on the couch, watching “Top Chef” on the DVR and poppin’ Milk Duds when I remembered I had to get my behind on the computer and drop some bacon knowledge tonight.

With gooey caramel in my mouth, I was reminded of this incredible recipe I found on the interwebs about a week ago.

Chipotle Bacon Caramels!  This is not a simple recipe but it’s pretty damn mouth watering and I would dare to say worth the wait.

So feelin’ adventurous?  Dare to tackle this tasty treat?  Hit the jump… [Read more →]

It doesn’t get any more easy than this one people (the exception being the melon wrapped bacon from last week) and she says it “tastes a lot like a blt” so you know its good! [Read more →]

This morning on “Today“ chef Matt Gennuso shared this porktastic recipe – bacon wrapped pork meatloaf.

If you can sit through a segment with Al Roker, then feel free to watch the video.

As a kid, I hated broccoli!  Still not a huge fan of it even through I know how good it is for me.  I will only eat it 1) raw or 2) VERY lightly sauteed.

You all know that I LOVE BACON…that much is true.

So take some of that tasty, tasty meat and mix with raw broccoli and you’ve got something that even a non-broc lover like me would down by the spoonful. 

It’s Broccoli Bacon Salad – courtesy of The Savory Sweet Life blog.  Hit the jump for the recipe: [Read more →]

Getting late, got a case of bacon writer’s block, start surfing and what do I find?  Nothing short of a little helping of heaven on a plate…

It’s a Barbecue Bacon and Bean Salad.

As we approach another  holiday week you may be looking for a different side dish to delight and surprise the family…I’m thinking this would do it!

Amazing what you can whip up with for dinner just by tearing through the cupboards (and fridge).  All it takes is just a little imagination. Like this for example…

Bow tie pasta, bacon, onions, peas and some sauce and BAM – you gots yourself some dinner.

No actual recipe to share, but you can see the step-by-step directions for this yummy dish over at Tasty Eating.

Enjoy!

I had this ready to post yesterday (on it’s regular feature day) but given my work schedule and complete lack of sleep the night before (thanks to a teething Lil’ Baird) I completely forgot to hit publish. Soooo anyway…here’s your day late “Better with Bacon” feature for the week.

Yeah, that’s right, bacon and peanut butter in a convienent cookie form!  Get the nice and easy recipe after the jump… [Read more →]

I have been rushed for time all day, so why not today feature a recipe that would take practically no time at all to put together…Chicken, Bacon & Egg Wedge Salad.

I’m making Toll House cookies the other day (the absolute best chocolate chip cookie recipe – bar NONE – I will not even hear your comments to the contrary) when a light pops over my head…

There is bacon that I cooked in the fridge, I write a bacon blog and since day one I have consistently run into stories/recipes for chocolate chip bacon cookies.

Hmmmmm.  How could this NOT be a good idea?

So with one trays worth of dough left, it was time to add the bacon!
