J & D's Bacon Salt Shipment


So just a quick post to let you know I got a mother load shipment in from the J&D Bacon Salt people. Amazon had a sweet deal on their products and if I bought enough I qualified for free super saver shipping.

I got 3 jars of Baconnaise, 3 original cans of bacon salt and the 4 pack of the different varieties of bacon salt. I haven't gotten to dig in much yet, I planned on having some with a store bought sandwich but realized it already had bacon on it...

More reports to follow!

Bacon Quesadillas






So I finally got around to trying one of my bacon ideas tonight for dinner. I picked up some deli bacon at Winco knowing that I needed to cook something with it. Tonight the stars were aligned and it was time to work up some bacon quesadillas. It is not the first time I have tried them, but the first time with fresh cooked bacon.

I cooked up the bacon in the frying pan and then cut it up roughly. I dumped a bit of the grease and then made up the quesadillas. I used two small taco size tortillas because that is what I had and then put on the bacon and some pre grated "mexican" cheese. Now comes my quesadilla secret, I put some cheese in the pan just before slapping it in. I am a lover of the fried cheese and it adds a nice crunchiness. Get one side cooked well and then lift it up throw down some more cheese and flip. Then as you can see I add a little salsa and sour cream to the plate. I also used the pizza cutter to make it into a nice finger meal.

The bacon is a nice touch. The flavor, crunchiness and cooking grease really add to a classic quesadilla. This is the first and probably easiest of my bacon ideas floating around in my head. I love bacon and will make sure and let you know how they go.

note: Sorry about the crappy pics, the iPhone failed me. Also don't know why the layout is so funky but live with it.
