Bacon Makes Everything Better

RX_1011 TL Turkey, Bacon, and Harvarti Sandwich

Which is more tantalizing – the smell of frying bacon or the sound of the sizzle? Traditionally relegated to breakfast or the BLT, bacon has found it’s way into almost every dish imaginable. Candied bacon swizzles are used as cocktail garnishes, bacon bits are baked into chocolate chip cookies, and have you ever heard of a PB&B? We don’t advocate you going crazy with your bacon love, so this lineup of bacon recipes will show you how to cook bacon into recipes such as salads, soups, and fried egg sandwiches. What’s even better, you no longer have to stand over a hot skillet, getting splattered with hot grease while cooking bacon. Oven roasting is an easy, hands-off method of cooking bacon. So while it is true that bacon can be an integral component of most any dish, you still can’t beat the iconic combination of bacon and eggs. Unless it’s bacon and pancakes. Just add coffee.

Recipe: Slow-Cooker Sweet Potatoes with Bacon

Sweet potatoes are often a part of Thanksgiving, and this recipe gives you a new twist on that classic flavor. Orange juice gives this dish a little sweetness, while pieces of crumbled bacon will give you something to savor, and rosemary will give it an aroma all its own. Delicious together, this sweet-and-salty side could not be easier to prep on Thanksgiving morning. Best part? It's made in the slow cooker, so you're saving valuable stovetop space. When you’re ready to serve it, sprinkle a mixture of parsley, orange zest, and garlic over the top: you’ll get just the right amount of herbs, spice, and bite in every mouthful.

Bacon, Peach, and Basil Burgers

Photo: Hector Sanchez

Recipe: Bacon, Peach, and Basil Burgers

Nothing says summer in the South quite like peaches, and of course we think everything goes better with bacon, so the Bacon, Peach, and Basil Burgers are a fresh-off-the-fire sensation. We recommend ground sirloin here because it's lean, which causes fewer flare-ups on the grill. Chopped pickled jalapeños and their juice ramp up the flavor, while bacon, and tangy-sweet chutney balance the heat. Soft and creamy goat cheese, an unexpected addition, adds just the right amount of smooth flavor to these amazingly balanced burgers.

This salad combines the hearty crunchiness of Brussels sprouts with the delicate sweetness of thinly sliced red apples. Partner that with the smoky flavor of crisp bacon and you are well on the way to enjoying a delicious salad redolent with the flavors of autumn that would be amazing on your Thanksgiving table. Red onion adds a little spice. The lemon juice, mixed with the vinegar, bacon drippings, and Dijon mustard, adds a little tart bite. When tossed together, and seasoned with salt and pepper this salad is a delicate delight. Whole Brussels sprout leaves make beautiful little salad greens. If you are pressed for time, slice the Brussels sprouts instead of peeling them.
