The Many Faces of the Bacon Club

Bacon sandwich

  One of my favorite sandwiches in the world has got to be a turkey and bacon club. The mouth watering appeal of juicy turkey topped with crispy, salty, bacon is something to marvel at. It is an ingenious little sandwich all on its own, but add in these tasty alternatives for a bit of a change.

Add a Bit of Mayo
Mayo and a Bacon Club go together like no other combo out there. This is a true classic; mixing the crunchy bacon texture with the creaminess of the mayonnaise.  This is most definitely one of my all time favorites.

Avocado and Brie
Want to give your club a bit of a west coast twist? Try adding some fresh avocado and Brie cheese atop it. The creamy coolness of the avocado and the yummy bite of the Brie make this a tasty California flair.

Lettuce, Tomato, and Ranch
The old BLT-T! Add some fresh crispy lettuce and ripe juicy tomatoes, then, drizzle just a bit of ranch dressing across the top. Pile it high or just keep it short, either way this delicious all time favorite is sure to please.

Heat It Up
The great thing about turkey and bacon is they just about go with anything you put on them. If you like your sandwiches with a little kick, you can add some sliced jalapeño and Monterey Jack cheese. Top it all off with some sour cream and dill dressing to cool the heat just a bit.

No matter your taste, there is sure to be a combo here that will work for you. Give one a try or try them all. They will surely give your turkey and bacon club a yummy new twist.

 

The Best Bacon: Canadian Bacon!

The absolute best bacon I have ever tasted has got to be Canadian bacon. Now I know we may poke fun at our Canadian neighbors, what with the maple syrup, ice, and hockey jokes, but they have really got one thing right.. Canadian bacon!

Canadian bacon goes on everything. You can put it onto a sandwich, hamburger, hotdog, or even a pizza. It can be put into pastas, salads, and goes nicely even on kabobs. As a matter of fact, it's so good that there is even an ode to it.

An Ode to Canadian Bacon
“It tastes great on the barbecue, oven roasted, or fried. When you taste your first bite you will think you have gone to heaven and died. Try it with bean dip and sour cream on top, add in hot peppers, and make your friends eyeballs pop.

It's great for breakfast served with some eggs, or maybe for diner, with a side of frog legs.   
It's awesome for lunch with steamy French fries, or put it on top of some warm apple pies.

Cover it with cheese, slap on some thyme, put it on bread and you're having a good time! 

While bacon is good that much is true, you need to know more, so let me tell you. Canadian Bacon is the best; trust me my friend I do not jest. Head to the store as quick as you can, make yourself a sandwich and head to the den!”

I implore you, if you are looking for the best bacon you've ever tasted, then go out right now and grab yourself some Grade A Canadian Bacon! I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Before You Freeze That Bacon Make Sure It’s Sealed Properly

Do you buy bacon in bulk?  Many people often wonder if freezing bacon will ruin its’ true flavor.  There is no simple answer to that question.  Many variables exist when discussing maintaining the quality of frozen bacon.  However, there are steps you can take to make sure that your frozen bacon tastes as delicious after you thaw it, as it would have if you cooked it the day you bought it.

One of the biggest reasons that any meat looses its quality when frozen is due to improper freezer packaging.  You likely have some experience with freezer burn, and know the havoc it can cause on everything in your freezer.  One way to avoid the same disaster to your bacon is to make sure that you have a properly sealed package.  If you bought your bacon in a sealed package at your local grocer, you can probably throw the bacon in the freezer as is.  However, if you bought straight from the butcher or deli counter, it will serve you well to take the time to make sure that your bacon is placed in a sealed and airtight storage container prior to freezing it.  Freezer burn is the most common reason for good bacon to be ruined. 

If you buy bacon in bulk, it may be a good idea to invest in an airtight food sealer.  Giving your packages an airtight vacuum seal is a great way to ensure that your bacon is safe in the freezer for months to come.  If you are interested in learning more about the storage options available to you, visit us at www.bacongifts.com.  You can find an entire selection of bacon related kitchenware, including bacon-freezing solutions.

I Love Bacon and There Isn’t Anything You Can Do About It

I Love Bacon

  Bacon is delicious.  It almost feels like we could end this right there.  That one simple statement tells the story for millions of us.  But we cannot stop there, because there is more to it.  As a much as I love bacon I know it is not the most healthy thing for me to be eating.  It is hard to admit, but it is true.  In fact, I have actually cut back on my bacon consumption.  It was not easy, but it was something we all have to do sometimes, that or we end up paying the piper.  In this case, the piper would be the cardiologist.  So what can you do to still enjoy bacon and minimize the risks of poor health?

First, we should get something clear I am not going to tell you to eat turkey bacon, or low sodium bacon, or any of those other fake bacons.  What I am talking about is straight from the pig, high fat, bad for you bacon.  It is the only kind a self respecting bacon lover will eat.  So, here is how I enjoy my daily dose of bacon, and still keep my doctors at bay.  First, if you are going to eat the bacon that you love so much, you need to do it in moderation.  It is easy to sit down and eat the whole pound, but you have to stop doing that or you will be flat on your back clutching your chest before you turn 50.  Next, you need to cut out some of the other unhealthy foods in your diet.  Bacon takes away an awful lot of your cheating points.  Enjoying your bacon means making sacrifices everywhere else.  Finally get out and get some exercise.  Make sure to keep that ticker, tickin’.  You know what bacon grease looks like after it has been sitting in a pan for an hour; well that is what it is doing inside you too.  The only way to keep those arteries unclogged and still enjoy delicious bacon, is to get out there and get your heart rate up, and no your heart racing right before the bacon hits your lips does not count.

We love bacon, and we should not have to deprive ourselves of something that has been a staple of our diet, and our parent’s diet, and their parent’s diet just because a few doctors say it is not good for you.  Ok so there is more than a few.  The point is, bacon is just like everything else, if you eat it in moderation, it is not going to kill you.  Please enjoy your bacon, but do it responsibly. Again, I love bacon.

Bacon Gifts, of course!

      Bacon gifts, why didn’t I think of this earlier?  Sometimes I find myself stuck when getting people gifts…..Of course , there is always a shirt or sweater, piece of jewelry…you get my drift.  But when seeking something a “little outside the box” without wanting to be too personal i.e. read “boss from hell” here --- or for that friend who always knows exactly what to get people that literally no one else would ever think of --- and I would like to return the favor – I am now turning to the culinary arts.  There are tons of gadgets and cookbooks and spices and seasonings and….well the list goes on and on….But I am totally hooked on giving bacon gifts.  Now, mind you, I have no vegan friends or relatives for that matter, so that makes it an easy decision.  But the world is totally screaming about bacon – with the addition of bacon vodka, bacon gum, bacon is totally the flavor of the month, every month.  This does make gift buying quite a bit easier.  Not only that, there are a plethora of bacon gifts out there.  For instance, the bacon belt, the bacon watch and bacon dental care – yep, bacon floss with some bacon flavored gum….still seeking bacon toothpaste though.
 
So, the next time you are stuck for a unique and original idea for a gift, go to the place that invokes fond, salivating memories, and grab some bacon gifts, the recipient will love it!

Oh! Oh! I Love Bacon

Polls are In and the Best Bacon has been Named

Bacon and friends

     Cooking magazines have rated the “best bacon” time and time again and come up with what they consider the best tasting and cooking out there.  You have more to choose from than just the brand and cut of the pork.  There are a number of flavors for the picking.  Are you wondering what could be used aside from salt, pepper and a few other seasonings?  Well, I will share a few with you.
 
Hickory smoked bacon is for starters.  It is placed in a smoker that slowly cures the bacon with a distinct hickory taste.  The next is Apple wood smoked.  A specific kind of wood is used for this and gives a genuine sweet taste to the bacon.  For the salad lovers, you’ll like the Sun-dried tomato flavor.  This is a fresh and new flavor to bacon that has a lot of potential!  The Chipotle southwestern smoked bacon has a lot of hot spices that are put in the smoker and cured to gather up the spice and flavor of Chipotle.  Or you can keep it simple and grab the pepper crusted bacon.  This is a familiar kick to bacon!

I have not met a single person who has not loved the smell and taste of bacon.  When you love a food so much, why not try different recipes?  Last year, the Today show had Cooks Illustrated on to discuss the best bacon out there and sampled eight companies and their flavors.  You know which one was voted the best bacon?  Apple wood smoked!
