But its use in everything from breakfasts to desserts is not just a popular, passing food trend. Bacon is a kitchen staple, an essential ingredient, a guilty pleasure, the meat you can’t live without—in essence, the ultimate combination of sweet and salty flavors in a crispy, tender, and meltingly delicious package. Who could resist it?

And who could resist Bacon Butterscotch Cupcakes or some Chocolate, Walnut, and Bacon Fudge? From party fare to date-night delights, upscale recipe twists to down-home favorites, the fifty recipes in this book will satisfy every bacon lover in your life.
No matter what you choose to make, when you break out the bacon, you are in for a salty, sweet, and irresistible treat. So grab your frying pan, choose your favorite cut, and get cooking. We agree that nothing is better than bacon!
Bacon Waffles
Yields 8 waffles
Bacon with waffles is fine, but bacon in waffles takes it to another level. These maple bacon waffles are a complete breakfast, and they have it all over plain waffles!
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¹⁄2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
¹⁄4 cup maple syrup
¹⁄4 cup butter, melted and cooled
¹⁄4 cup melted bacon fat
1¹⁄2 cups buttermilk
¹⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
¹⁄2 pound maple bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
Preheat the waffle iron. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl beat the eggs lightly, then add the maple syrup, butter, bacon fat, buttermilk, and vanilla. Mix until well blended.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. With a spatula, mix until the flour is just moistened, then add in the crumbled bacon and mix to distribute. The batter should have some small lumps. Allow to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes.
Cook the waffles on the heated waffle iron, making sure not to overfill the iron. Place any waffles that are to be held for longer than 5 minutes onto a baking sheet, and hold in an oven heated to 250°F. The waffles will stay crisp and moist for 30 minutes. Serve hot with butter and syrup.
HISTORICAL MEAT
Bacon has been around for more than three millennia! Early records indicate that Chinese farmers were salting and drying pork bellies as early as 1500 B.C.E.
Bacon Fried Eggs
Serves 4
If you have never had the pleasure of eating eggs fried in fresh, hot bacon grease, then you are in for a life-changing experience! Each egg is gently smothered in bacon fat, infusing each bite with bacon flavor. Be sure to have plenty of buttered toast on hand for sopping up the egg yolks.
12 strips thick-cut smoked bacon
8 eggs
Sea salt, to taste
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Heat a heavy skillet, cast-iron preferred, to medium heat. Once heated add the bacon, making sure not to crowd the pan. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the fat has rendered, about 10 minutes. Drain the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with any remaining bacon. Pour off half the fat and reserve.
Turn the heat up to medium-high. Working with 2 or 3 eggs at a time, carefully crack the eggs into the bacon grease. With a heatproof spatula, gently coat the tops of the eggs with the hot bacon fat three or four times, or until the eggs reach your desired level of doneness. Add additional bacon fat as needed.
Once cooked, remove the eggs from the pan and drain lightly on a paper towel. Season the eggs with sea salt and black pepper. Serve with the crisp bacon.
Baked Eggs in Bacon Grits
Serves 4
Ultra creamy, very cheesy, and loaded with bacon—these grits are not for the timid. These grits are best when the yolk is still a little runny so it can be mixed into the grits with each bite.
8 strips thick-cut maple or smoked bacon, diced
¹⁄2 cup diced onion
2 cups water
1 cup whole milk
1 cup half and half
1
