I eat it all the time.

Momma makes stuffed jalapenos (sausage, cheese, cream cheese) and wrapped with bacon. If you use pork, the grill flames all to hell cause of the fat. If you use turkey, you get nice cooked peppers/meat, and the bacon gets crispy and it's damned good. I prefer turkey bacon over pork for stuffed jalapenos.

She also cooks it for breakfast and for BLTs. I've gotten used to it, it doesn't shrink, it's better for you so why not?

Turkey Bacon is pretty good. But I used to like Sizzelean better. What ever happened to that?

Looks like Sizzlean is still available somewhere in Florida.

There's a big difference between the regular and super lean turkey bacon in flavor and texture.

Bacon is meat candy.

Bacon rolled in brown sugar and BBQ rub and then smoked on a Weber Smoky Mountain is meat candy. Actually, it's called pig candy. And it's delicious.

Here's a tip if you ever have to make bacon for a bunch of people. It's what restaurants do. Lay the strips in a cookie sheet and bake at 350F until done. It comes out perfectly. Crispy. No burning, and relatively flat.

unbiasedtruth
2/5/2011, 04:13 PM
^^^^^^ a tip to the tip.... put a cooling rack on the cookie pan and lay the bacon across it. This allows for the bacon juices to drip down from the rack to the pan, thus the bacon is not swimming in fat ^^^^^^^

I'll have to look at turkey bacon again. It use to contain just about as much fat and calories per serving as regular pig bacon. Same thing with ground turkey, some have just as much fat and calories as 85% lean hamburger....

I don't have bacon too often....therefore, when I do have it, I'm gonna have the real stuff. I want to know its bad for me when its going down. That's part of what makes it good. :D

I just bought 3 packages of thick cut pig bacon for tomorrows appetizers. While standing in front of the bacon shrine, I noticed a package I had never seen or heard of before: beef bacon. Has anybody ever had any of that?

My wife tried turkey bacon on me once, without me knowing of course. First bite I said "somethings wrong with the bacon". She was a little surprised I could tell something was "different" so quickly. She hasn't tried to pull that crap since.:D

Heh. I eat what momma puts in front of me.

Also, try making those stuffed peppers with real bacon and let me know how it goes. You'll have the mother of all grill fires, and your bacon will be burnt black.

We haven't had a breakfast tailgate in a while (since there weren't any early games this past year) but when we do, we bring that thick-sliced peppered bacon they have at my work. Anybody who's tried that **** will testify about it. Best bacon ever.

I make these all the time, and will be again for the Super Bowl later. I've NEVER used turkey bacon and NEVER will!!! Momma needs to stay in the kitchen and away from the grill.

You know, I honestly never thought about that. Next time I'm smoking I'm gonna try a couple dozen on there.

Usually though it's like "go throw these on the grill real quick" so I don't have time to get the smokers fired up.

They work better with thinner cut bacon. Oscar Meyer center cut works excellent. It gets crispier that way.

Dude, that's just wrong. At least turkey bacon is some kind of an animal by-product. I don't even know WTF tofu is - other than nasty. I'll eat a little of it in the hot & sour soup, but anything with those big chunks of tofu is gross.

I bet you found that crap while doing a gis for "something gross I can stick my dick into" didn't you?
