It's time.

Yep, it's bacon o'clock

I mentioned bacon in a thread just recently and since it's my 6th ATS birthday today I thought bugger it, it's bacon pie time.

I would also like to note that there used to be a lot more bacon on this site. I'm pretty sure there are some crackling bacon threads that have been authored over the years, sadly though they have fallen away to make way for all of that partisan rubbish.

Anyway, and without further ado, feel free to plunge your face into this baby.

Man that looks good! Much better than the leftover spaghetti I'm about to eat

Is that bacon encrusted meat loaf? Recipe? < wipes drool from side o mouth >

There is far too much burger in your bacon image!

Happy 6th.

Apple-Bourbon Glazed Bacon Pie

ingredients:

40 slices bacon
Barbecue rub, to taste
4¼ pounds ground beef
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
16 ounces Gouda, diced
12 cherry tomatoes
8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup ketchup
1 can apple purée
¼ cup apple juice
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup bourbon

Directions:

Heat grill to 400°F.
Fan bacon slices out from the center of a large skillet, and sprinkle with barbecue rub.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, barbecue rub, diced Gouda, and diced bell peppers. Thoroughly mix and knead the contents with your hands.
Fill the bacon-covered skillet with the beef mixture, patting it into place with your hands. Finish with cheddar, and fold the ends of the bacon over the pie, adding more slices to cover the top until the meat is fully enclosed. Sprinkle generously with more barbecue rub.
Place the skillet on the grill, cover, and cook with woodsmoke at 400°F for approximately 45 minutes.
Make The Sauce: In a medium-sized pot, combine ketchup, apple purée, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and bourbon. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Extricate the pie from the skillet, and set it back on the grill to cook over open fire for an additional 20 minutes. Half-way through, brush it with the apple-bourbon glaze.
Finish with halved cherry tomatoes and grated cheddar, and serve.

Oh man, that thar is a gourmet loaf for sure!!
I'd ask how it tastes but I already know that answer!

Thank you for the recipe


ETA:Just like ice cream on a slice of pie, me thinks a good scoop of mashed taters on top of a slice of this would be just dandy!

a reply to: VengefulGhost

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this obviously difficult time, mmmmmmmmmm bacon.

God, does that look good. It has to be evil, I could eat that whole thing in a day easily. It looks like it is over a pound.

A quick and simple bacon I've been making lately.
Try it you'll love it.

Use thick cut 1/4" bacon for best results.

1/8 cup honey
1/8 cup Texas champagne hot sauce.
Fresh ground black pepper (I do large grind)

Coat everything , and throw on grill -or oven.

Hey I live in a small apartment I know I can just bake this but do you have any alternatives for cooking over the open grill? I'm not allowed to have one. (I am referring to the last 20 min)

a reply to: XxitsTtimexX

Mate that sucks not being allowed a grill, not even outside ?. I'm assuming it's a fire alarm thing, anyway, the only alternative to an open grill I can think of is a cast iron grill pan which should have ridges on it.

i am 51 years old darn near gave me a heart attack just looking at it .
But my second faveret way i would like meeting my maker .
1 is being smothered to death by the Dallas cowboy cheerleaders . Mind you it must be the whole squad not just 2 or 3 .
