People are obsessed with bacon. Why? Because Bacon is awesome, that’s why. So while I usually strive to be healthy and offer up healthy recipes on my site, I’m going to go out out on a limb and give you the best of Bacon from my bacon loving BBQ buddies, my adventures on pinterest, and even a few of my own recipes.
Hooray for bacon!
To see a complete list of my favorite bacon ideas and recipes, go to my Bacon inspired pinterest board.
Food Trend: Sweet and Savory Bacon
Candied Bacon, or “Pig Candy” – a great recipe from John Dawson
Candied Bacon Chocolate Cupcakes – my husband loved me a little more the day I made these
Sea Salted Dark Chocolate Chip with Bacon – again, my husband loved me a little more the day I made these
Bacon Ice cream 2 of the best things on earth put together.
Bacon Flavored MarshMallows – truly an original idea from Chris at Nibblemethis.com
Paula Deen’s Krispy Kreme burger, with Bacon – leave it to Paula Deen to make something so yummy and so utterly bad for you! 🙂
Meat, with More Bacon:
The Bacon Explosion – a Bacon Basket week stuffed with more meat, and then smoked.
Atomic Buffalo Turds (ABTs) -stuff jalapenos, wrap them in bacon, smoke them
Moink Balls – the infamous meatball wrapped in bacon, smoked and finished in BBQ rub
Bacon Rub – add bacon to your meat, in the form of a rub. Brilliant!
Bacon Mac N’ Cheese Burger – cool and different use of bacon in a burger, thanks to Clint from grilling.com
Vegetables, With Bacon:
Jalapeno Poppers – jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon and then grilled or baked
Bacon Wrapped Asparagus – one of my most popular recipes, bar none
Wedge Salad, heavy on the bacon
Paula Deen’s stuffed tomatoes with Bacon – notice Paula has made it twice on this post!
Dips:
Onion Bacon Marmalade – PatioDaddioBBQ’s infamous recipe
BLT Dip
Loaded Baked Potato Dip
Blue Cheese Bacon Dip – bacon and blue cheese are a match made in heaven!
Spirits:
Bacon Vodka – now you can infuse your favorite cocktails with the essence of bacon. Buying is much easier than trying to make your own!
Bacon Infused Bourbon – here are directions on how to make your own bacon infused bourbon. Not commercially made yet.
Condiments:
Baconnaise – everything you eat can taste like bacon now that they are packaging a bacon flavored mayo.
Bacon Salt
Bacon Hot Sauce – a double whammy of a combo if you ask me.
Bacon Jam – spreadable bacon
Finally, after eating this much bacon, you will most definitely need a “Bacon Coffin”.
You can actually buy a bacon coffin, brought to you from the same guys who brought you baconnaise.
Great review! Bacon is such a mainstream item these days and goes with just about everything, or should 🙂 My boys love the Bacon Candy I smoke for them and my wife is a big fan of Bacon Turkey Meatloaf – just can’t get her to try the beef version but we make do.

And here I was reading this thinking that the “bacon coffin” was going to be some kind of over the top, totally bad for you, bacon recipe, lol.
I love how you posted your Pinterest board screen shot! I mean really, is there anything better than bacon? Especially when it’s on a cheeseburger. 🙂
ha! You will need a coffin after eating all that bacon! 🙂
Lean Ann- are you on pinterest? I’ll look for you!
It’s an honor to be included in your bacon round-up. Wait… Never mind.
Mmmm…never had too many bacon recipes! I get every bacon joke on facebook sent to me a dozen times, lol. That’s what I get, I suppose, for using bacon in so many of our recipes. Going to have to go through the list above and add some new ones to my arsenal! Thanks! – Perry
ha!
