    Recipes that prove bacon makes everything-chicken, cheese, pasta, and more-taste better

    Iceberg Wedge with Warm Bacon and Blue Cheese Dressing

    Bon Appétit | January 2006

    Yield: Makes 6 servings

    The classic combo is back - and bacon makes it better than ever.

    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
    • 1 cup coarsely crumbled blue cheese
    • Buttermilk (optional)
    • 1/2 pound thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
    • 1 large head of iceberg lettuce, cut into 6 wedges, each with some core attached
    • 1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced

    Preparation

    Mix first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Add blue cheese and stir until well blended. If too thick, thin with buttermilk by tablespoonfuls to desired consistency. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)

    Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until golden brown and beginning to crisp. Arrange lettuce on plates. Spoon dressing over. Using slotted spoon, transfer warm bacon from skillet onto salads, dividing equally. Garnish with red onion.

      9. Bacon-pesto Pasta: I discovered this over the weekend when I didn't have anything else in the pantry/fridge. Boil some pasta (something small like campanelle), drain, and return to its pot and add cooked bacon and just enough pesto to coat.
      10. Succotash: basically, fry up bacon, corn, edamame, onions, and any other vegetable you can fine dice. Maybe get adventurous and add some apples. Fabulous fall dish.
      11. Bacon-asparagus risotto. Start with bacon, let it render, then brown the rice and add your broth. Add the steamed asparagus at the end, just before the cheese.
      12. BLAT sandwich (Bacon-lettuce-avocado-tomato)
      13. Bacon-potato-leek soup: the weather is cooling off and I want some!

      If you are vegan or muslim, don't click on the 'best bacon recipes' link and you won't get offended. I was offended that there were only 8 recipes

      These indegrients will make sure you have two to three pounds of water retention for at least 2 days...blow your kidneys and liver with salt crud...Roman soldiers ate this salt crap everday and their average life span was 33 yrs old,,,have a stroke

      WTF is wrong with you people? Let the vegans/veggies try to help you live a healthier lifestyle. They're not on a cross yelling to you below. Maybe they clicked here for the purpose of having an audience that eats this way?

      Nonetheless, that meatloaf DOES look horrific. Not because there's bacon on it either. Isn't the picture supposed to be the best looking of the many takes at making it?

      If you are a stinking vegan or a stinking muslim, keep your anti-pork religion to yourself, and stop trying to force it on the rest of us! I love bacon and nothing you can say or do will change my mind!

      Look close, that is Kosher bacon. Vegans are just that, in a veggie state of mind. Think outside the dirt mound.

      To the Vegetarains ,Vigains and other non meat eaters . I respect that is a discision that you have made as you feel it make and defines who and what you are. Those of us that eat meat have also made a discision to enjoy our lives as we see fit. I personally eat both cook and raw veggies with seafood, poultery, beef , lamb, pork and other meats , and starches . I like to call it a well rounded diet . So if I can be tolerant of you Being a humane person can you be just as tolerant ? respect is what it is called. enjoy you day.thank you for reading this . I hope we can inlighten each other .Thank You

      anyone who loves bacon should go to the LA times web site and click on food, then enter 1001 uses for bacon. My SIL who is a great bacon lover, (we have nicknamed her the bacon goddess) wrote it. It has things a candied bacon martini and bacon bundt cake.
