Suggestions for a bacon inspired dinner

[6th Borough BBQ]

Bacon wrapped wife?

[Steve B]

Hahahaha. Don't tempt me.

BLTs
Bacon wrapped scallops - on the grill brushed with garlic sauteed in olive oil and butter, add white wine at the end. Precook the bacon until almost too done to wrap around the scallops.
Twice baked potato casserole - this is a great side dish, and keeps well for leftovers. I use regular sour cream, and at least double the bacon, (if my wife isn't lookin' ).

[Steve B]

Thanks everyone. Got some great ideas here. And please keep um coming.

Fatties... all day long

[Potkettleblack]

Having recently returned from Italy, why not a four course.

Antipasti: make a bacon tomato bruschetta.
Pasta: Spaghetti carbonara or maybe a ragu with bacon.
Secondi: bacon wrapped roast or bacon wrapped filets or shrimps.
Veg: Brussels Sprouts with bacon.

I might rewrite this with a non-tomato anti, and then an amatriciana as it's a lighter bacon pasta than carbonara or ragu.

I'll wager you gained a pound or so while there.

[Potkettleblack]

You'd be surprised. I did the full five course maybe once it two weeks.

[TheCountofQ]

Hmmm. If I every make it there, I'm coming back fat, and probably with a couple of paternity suits. 😆

[shify]

My ideas:

Appetizer: ABTs, devil on horseback, deviled eggs with bacon croutons

Main: spaghetti carbonara or amatriciana, bacon mac and cheese, bacon wrapped turkey breast, burgers with 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 ground bacon, shrimp and grits with bacon subbing for andouille

dessert: bacon apple pie

If you got a SV machine, have somebody hold your beer and try an untraditional traditional bacon, eggs and English brunch. http://www.seriouseats.com/2016/11/h...ide-bacon.html and http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2...on-recipe.html

Almost forgot... another favorite. Spansh Chorizo (hard, like a Pollish, not the soft Mexican). Split and fill with sour kraut, wrap with bacon. Toothpicks will keep it all together while you smoke/ grill. Just don't forget to remove them.

Turbo dogs!!!

[Attjack]

I've been making bacon wrapped pickles lately.

[aarontbell]

Bacon w green beans, or in a tomato salad. Use some of the fat as an oil in a vinaigrette. Don't chill the dressing.

Steve B

what the plan? IMWK : )

[Steve B]

Jon I like your idea of incorporating bacon into a stuffing for shrimp as in your pic above. Wanted to know what you put in it.

[Jon Solberg]

I'll write it up for you. It's a simple dish. Steve B

[Steve B]

Thanks Jon Solberg I did a make shift one yesterday. Kinda cheated. Took 6 clams casino. Emptied them into a bowl and added 8 slices of crumbled up bacon and then stuffed the shrimp. Wife said the stuffing was great. But definitely want a better recipe.

[JCBBQ]

I made a big pot of black beans and I chopped a hunk of my bacon into lardons and added some linguica, cooked them down then used the fat to cook some onion and garlic and then added all that to the beans. Pretty delicious. I'm going to third the BLT if you can still get some great tomatoes, preferably heirloom - that's a hell of a Sammy.

[bbqncigars]

You could make a bacon explosion on your pit. It is artery clogging heaven.

[Steve B]

OK. Here's what I came up with.
1 Bacon wrapped pepper jack cheese jalapeños
2 bacon wrapped scallops
3 stuffed shrimp. The stuffing was a clams casino recipe with a lot more bacon added.
4 bacon wrapped filet mignon and
5 twice baked potato casserole with extra bacon.
