Bacon Salt on popcorn

admin — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 00:09:47 +0000

My popcorn taste has evolved. I used to love air popped popcorn. Then microwave popcorn was my favorite. But for about 10 years now I have been stuck on popcorn popped in a pan with olive oil. Sometimes I’ll warm some butter in the microwave and drizzle that on. Usually some salt goes on — either regular table salt or popcorn salt until I received the gift of Bacon Salt.

My girlfriend doesn’t like her popcorn bacony though so that’s a good way for me to claim a batch of popcorn for myself!

Bacon sugar

It would be almost impossible to invent a new bacon thing. You’d have to go extremely silly in order to do something with bacon that has not been done or at least thought of before. Perhaps a bacon wheelbarrow. Or bacon throwing stars for your favorite ninja.

I was contemplating Bacon Salt and wondered if bacon sugar would be good. You know, a spoon full of bacon-sugar makes the medicine go down. And bacon-sugar on the right breakfast cereal might taste good.

People are already making sugared bacon by using brown sugar or a cinnamon and sugar mixture…

“Roll (or pat or shake) raw bacon in brown sugar and place strips on any flat pan with sides. Bake in a slow oven (275 to 300 degrees) for about 25 to 30 minutes until dark brown. You may turn over once with a pincher or tongs. When bacon appears well done, remove with tongs and DRAIN ON BROWN PAPER very thoroughly (grocery bags are very good for this). As it cools, it will get hard and can then be broken into smaller pieces or served whole. This tedious chore can be done earlier in the day and stored in aluminum foil, then reheated to serve.”

Bacon Salt on Mac and Cheese

I really should be listing the foods that I have tried Bacon Salt on. That alone could be three or four posts a week.

Last night we settled in for a few movies but I was feeling a bit peckish. My girlfriend offered two quick and trashy comfort foods. “Mac and Cheese or Spaghetti-O’s?” I chose the macaroni. I sprinkled a hearty helping of Bacon Salt on top and mixed it up. Mmmmm. That will definitely be done again.

HowStuffWorks gives a nice little tutorial on making a bacon garnish.

Velma also made a BLT-ini out of bacon vodka. Check out her page for instructions and impressions.

In a demonstration that everything is better with bacon, Velma dressed up Peeps with bacon. That might actually convince me to eat a Peep!

Bacon burger

How about a burger made entirely from ground bacon? The bacon burger would probably not need to have bacon on it.

Grilled cheese with bacon

I like grilled ham and cheese. I’m sure I would love grilled bacon and cheese!

Bacon + maple syrup (or bourbon!) + butter and sugar = Bacon Caramel.
