Things To Do With Bacon

Things to do with Bacon.

(You can pretend to get healthy in January)

1. Candied.  Drown your favorite bacon in your favorite iteration of sugar. Slow cook until mahogany brown.  It's like a porkgasm.  If you want to turn it up to 11, add a smattering of Chipotle powder.

2. Wrap a beef Fillet. I sort of hate this cut of meat.  Very little marbling, while good for the little black dress set, robs an otherwise tender piece of meat of vital flavor.  Solution?  Wrap that puppy in bacon.  The addition of all that pork lard goodness fixes the issue.

3. Ice berg wedge.  Another supporting role, but vital (Think John Cazale's three best characters) to the ensemble cast.  The angel on the other shoulder of that big piece of lettuce.  And there is a whole separate love affair between Bacon and Blue Cheese, that would show up a little later in the listing.  The synergistic crisp spark makes the dish more than a mere sum of it's parts.
