I can’t believe I’m sitting here thinking that this is the first time I’ve had bacon as a main course for dinner. Sure we’ve all had bacon with dinner. Or bacon as dinner, at least some of us anyway. But this is the first time I’ve served bacon as the main course in dinner.
Last weekend I received an email from Chilebrown, he was starting up another load of his homemade bacon. Each batch varies a little, smoking temps, cuts of meat and cure times. I’ve been pleading for a bacon with more smoky flavors. And brother, or sister, he came through in flying colors.
I enjoyed this batch a lot. It had great pork flavor and was matched by an applewood smoke that left you smacking yer lips. Both Mama and agreed it was on the salty side, but it seemed to go over fine because everyone’s plates were clean.
Saturday’s supper was easy, fast and a topnotch way to end a nice afternoon.
Meathenge recommends you try having bacon as your main course for your next Saturday Supper.
