SHOUT OUT to Amy (a peep in Peoria) for sending me this recipe last week.

We’ve featured similar recipes before but I’m such a sucker for homemade mac and cheese and this just looks so good.

If you are french, a french chef or fan of “Top Chef“ this may rub you the wrong way.

And as for bacon recipes this one may be a stretch…but the recipe does include bacon and crock pot cooking is supposed to be easy…

Friends of TDB, allow me to introduce you to Justin.  Justin has been a great fan out of little website and (just so happens) really digs on swine like the rest of us.

Well, he got inspired this weekend and made something quite delicious…

Yes, bacon beer brats!

So I said “Justin, can I post this” and he said” Hells Yeah!” so here you go…his recipe with commmentary and photos after the jump. [Read more →]

Another savory dish from our friends up north!  This would make a great side dish for, say, a 14 oz. bacon wrapped filet?!?

Man, I just made my stomach rumble…

After snowmagadon (let’s try spelling that again) Snowmageddon last night in SE Michigan, there couldn’t be a better time for a warm, hearty soup (with bacon)…

Thank goodness for this recipe from chef Christopher Deraiche, chef/part owner of Ottawa’s Wellington Gastropub.  That’s up there in Can-na-da where they know something about the stick to your ribs goodness of a hearty broth!

Now doesn’t that just look good?!

Ingredients are in metric so consider yourself forewarned.

I know that we have featured “candied” bacon before in out “Better with Bacon” segments but this is different for three reasons:

A) The recipe is in video form, 2) the video is of Jolene the Trailer Park Queen and third, the recipe includes my other love and addiction, coffee.

So watch and learn grasshoppers!

Oh to wake up to the sweet aroma of a maple and bacon baked good…

Get on that Better Half (hint, hint)

I’m even providing the recipe (after the jump) [Read more →]

I’ve had a massive sweet tooth during the holidays so I thought that we could start out the “Better with Bacon” segment for the new year with something that makes my teeth hurt a little just looking at the picture…

Oh, and it’s REAL simple!!

Quick, easy and honestly just plain tasty sounding…

Great thing about a meal like this is that it’d store well and still be tasty as a leftover for lunch.
