I like wrapping stuffed jalapenos in bacon and smoking them

I also like baked stuffed potatoes topped with bacon



I absolutely love taters done that way!

My doctor thanks you for all those nice recipes. I 'bake' my bacon, usually a pound or two at a time when there are store specials and then flash freeze the strips so they are easy grabbed, thawed briefly in the microwave, and used for my Egg McMuffins or BLT sandwiches.

I love bacon. Who would have guessed?
I'll use it where ever I want a nice smokey flavor and am not grilling. Wrap it around tenderloins, chicken breast, flavor beans, in potatoes and green beans, mac and cheese with tomatoes, crumbled into stuffings, salads, you name it.

I also make a candied bacon for breakfeast.
I make a rub with 1 cup of brown sugar, a pinch of salt, a tsp of maustard powder and a couple of good grinds of fresh cracked pepper. I bake it at 400* for about 15 minutes on a broiler pan covered with parchment paper.

There is nothing like that first beef steak tomato of the year and some nice thick cut bacon for a BLT. Cold tomato slices, hot bacon and crisp lettuce on good bread with Mayo, mmmmm. Hurry up summer. Happy thoughts with a blizzard going on outside.

I love thick sliced bacon on a good sloppy BLT!
