This week is the 2nd Annual Bacon Week. This new found tradition was started by my brother and a buddy of his. Starting on the first Sunday in October through Saturday, bacon should be incorporated in every meal in some way. My brother created this week in honor of bacon and all of its goodness. As much as I love bacon, I have a hard time incorporating it into every meal. But I am trying to do every dinner at least.
Sunday we were visiting my family and had bacon with breakfast.
Monday we had bits of bacon in our breakfast burritos (which we ate for dinner).
Tuesday we had bacon burgers. But not just bacon burgers, we had them Carl's Jr. style. Like the Western Burger. I mixed in some milk, barbecue sauce, and seasonings with the meat before I made patties. I only just barely learned that adding milk to the meat helps the patties to not fall apart. We cooked up some bacon and fried some onion rings (ordered from Alison's Pantry). And that's basically all you put on your burger! Mayo, barbecue sauce, hamburger patty, bacon, and onion rings. Very yummy.
Tonight for dinner we are going to have homemade pizza. Something with bacon of course. Probably chicken bacon ranch. We'll see what we end up with.
Just as a side note, when cutting uncooked bacon into smaller pieces to cook, using a knife is not the best way. Either cut the bacon after it's cooked, or use scissors. I wish I had thought of this before. At least I get to use this tonight and the rest of the week though!
I'll post some pictures of our pizza, and hopefully of some of our other meals. Which I am so excited for. I love bacon! Bacon in anything would pretty much just be yummy. :)
