It's that time again. My wife and I have been cooking bacon dishes all morning. Gone thru 12lbs so far. Easily better than last year. We are making: bacon jam, chocolate covered bacon, bacon cheeseburger sliders, bacon egg and cheese breakfast pizzas, baked potato bacon and cheese casserole, marinated bacon wrapped chicken tenders. All guests are also to bring a dish including bacon in lieu of gifts. Getting older never tasted so good. Will take as many pics as I can, will post them tomorrow!
 
Oh man, that sounds like a blast. You have to try pickled watermelon rinds wrapped in bacon.
The rinds are by the relish in most stores. They are in a sweet syrup that gets glazed and sticky in the oven.
Everybody loves them. Let me know if you want quick and easy instructions.
 
droool, this may have to become a Texas thing as well, eventually, though my arteries are already screaming at me. :p

Pickled watermelon rinds wrapped in bacon.

I start with Hormel Black label bacon because its good quality and consistent. Cut the whole package in half and pre cook it a little to melt off some fat and get it rubbery.
Strain the Watermelon rinds and cut the chunks in bite size pieces. Wrap the pieces in bacon, big strips with bigger pieces, smaller strips with smaller pieces ect. Use toothpicks to hold them together. Bake at 350 around 18 to 25 min. Until the bacon is cooked and the sugars in the rinds start to caramelize. They are epic.... Enjoy.
Have everyone try to guess what they are, they take people by surprise.
 
Awesome time. Cut cake with TGLB. Good stuff. Jack typing, now. Got to go. Oixx tohhyow. Yea
 
Here we go.......
