Whether you love it or hate it, bacon is something that can be very diverse when it comes to its uses. While I do like bacon I don’t rate it as high up the food ladder as some other people do. I mean, it does taste great for sure, but can it really live up to its claim that everything is better with bacon in it? If any of these recipes and images below make you drool or feel hungry, it means bacon really is amazing. To prove it here are ten recipes that are all sure to make bacon lovers’ mouths water…
Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs
What could be better than a normal hot dog? What about a bacon-wrapped one? Well, this is one thing I will definitely be trying, in fact, the only thing that surprises me about this is why I haven’t tried it already? Have I been leading a bacon sheltered life?
Bacon Cups
Perfect for containing a salad, or maybe some eggs and turning it into a great looking breakfast. While you might well think they are difficult to make they really aren’t and there are tricks to make it super easy.
Bacon Apple Pie
I do like a nice piece of apple pie, and I also like bacon! But the 2 together are not right at all. I personally like my pies meat-filled (not the dessert kind) and will often have chicken and bacon pie. But not apple and bacon, certainly not together anyway.
Bacon & cheese wrapped tater tots with tabasco
It’s not many things that can make me drool at the thought of eating them alone, but that is exactly what these mouth-watering super snacks do. Make them for a party or make them just to munch in between dinner courses. Whatever you make them for, make sure you make enough of them as they will be flying off the plate.
Bacon Pancakes
Apparently, this recipe is quick and easy to make. While I can’t confirm that I can confirm they look super tasty. Having said that I do like my pancakes to be sweet, not sour. But I am torn because I think these might taste like mini toad-in-the-holes which I love!
Bacon Twists
Twisted bacon and puff pastry twists might well be something I could eat a lot of. They sound quite simple to make so even I might have to try and make at least a few of these for my lunch box (if they last that long).
Bacon, egg and toast cups
With a slight breakfast spin on the original bacon cups seen in number 9, but this time with an egg thrown in for a tasty good measure. Words alone can’t tell you how much I just want to get clicking on that image and make my own because they look simply divine.
The Ultimate Bacon and Egg Sandwich
What was that? Do you love to have a bacon sandwich in the morning? Well, move over wimp, because this is the ultimate egg and bacon sandwich. With 16 duck eggs and 15 rashers of bacon, this really could put you in a coma, but I would love to try it even if it did finish me off.
Green Bean Bacon Bundles
This is probably one of the healthiest recipes you will find in this top 10. With some crunchy green beanstalks and, of course, some bacon wrapped around them, they would be perfect for summer BBQ snacks.
Bacon wrapped scallops with spicy cilantro mayonnaise
If you love your scallops you will find this recipe to be a step up in the right direction. The strong flavours of the bacon perfectly complement the scallops by soaking them all the lovely bacon juices. Now that sounds like something I could eat an awful lot of.
