Bacon Salt Recipe: Jalapeno Bacon Salt Pork Chops with Breaded Bacon Salt Green Beans

We made both of these together the other night and it was an unreal and awesome dinner that didn't take too long or cost too much to make.

Jalapeno Bacon Salt Pork Chops
Pork chops
Jalapeno Bacon Salt (or Peppered if you don't have Jalapeno)
Onions, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
Olive oil

Coat the pork chops in Jalapeno Bacon Salt and let sit in the fridge overnight (or for a few hours if you're like me and forget to take stuff out and pre-season it the night before). In a frying pan, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Turn heat to medium and add garlic, then cook for 1-2 minutes (being careful not to burn the garlic). Add the onions, and cook the onions and garlic for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the pork chops and cover the frying pan to lock in the juices. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes per side until the inside of the pork chops reach 160 degrees F.

Breaded Bacon Salt Green Beans

1-2 lbs of fresh green beans (chop off the ends)
3 tablespoons of butter
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup dried breadcrumbs
1-2 tablespoons Peppered Bacon Salt (to taste)

In a frying or sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and Peppered Bacon Salt and saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add green beans and cook until crisp tender. Remove from heat and add breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese, mix together.

Serve with the pork chops. For extra deliciousness, some of the breading can be used as a topping for the pork chops.

Bacon Salt Recipe: Clam Linguine with Peppered Bacon Salt

We made something this weekend that may have entered our personal top 5 favorite recipes with Bacon Salt. It's very simple and actually affordable to make, yet the results were amazingly good. The Peppered Bacon Salt is, as always, a great complement to the savory taste of fresh garlic.

Clam Linguine with Garlic and Peppered Bacon Salt
Linguine (or angel hair pasta or spaghetti)
3-4 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
6-8 cloves of fresh garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1-3 lbs of fresh clams (optional - this can be done as a simple Alio-olio dish with pinenuts, and you can use fresh or even canned/drained clams if you wish)

Boil the pasta in salted water.

While the pasta is cooking in a large frying pan add the olive oil and turn heat to medium or medium-low. Once hot, sautee the garlic, Peppered Bacon Salt and crushed red pepper flakes for 2-3 minutes being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the clams and half the parsley and cook on Medium or Medium-High until the clams are all open, discarding the clams that do not open after several minutes.

Spoon the clams and olive oil mixture over the cooked drained linguine (or mix them in the frying pan), and garnish with more parsley and Peppered Bacon Salt to taste. Serve with garlic or other bread and enjoy!

 

Operation Bacon Salt Update - VAQ-133 Wizards Get Their Bacon Salt

We recently got the following email:

Hi, my name is AMC(AW) Eric W. stationed with VAQ-133 "Wizards". We are a Navy unit stationed out of Whidbey Island, Washington currently in Bagram, Afghanistan. I have heard of your product through the Mens Rooms show on 99.9 KISW and have been trying to get some ever since. I currently have not had the pleasure of trying it but the guys on the Mens Room swear up and down that it is one of the greatest experiences in the world. Our command flies the EA-6B Prowler which is used for Jamming enemy radars and listening in to the enemy. We would be honored and excitied to be selected to be your unit of the month. Our command may not be the biggest over here but we pack one of the biggest punches in the area and make some of the biggest impacts for the ground troops.

Here's to hearing from you hopefully and thanking you for your support of our military. Because of companies like you it makes what we do here feel even more important.

We were really glad to hear from a Seattle-based unit, so we sent a whole bunch of bacon-flavored love in a care package to their crew. Eric has promised pictures, so we'll be posting them when we get them. Let's not forget our troops out there!

A whole family tries Baconnaise

The Suarez family got some Baconnaise Lite recently, and have now joined Ali Thinks as part of our official spokesfamily:

Baconnaise reviewed by Geek Monthly - scores 102 out of 100

In January's issue of national tech/lifestyle magazine Geek Monthly, Baconnaise was reviewed. Here is an excerpt from the review:

I fixed myself a Baonnaise-smothered Tofurkey sandwich. It was nothing short of incredible. Baconnaise not only lives up to its promise to be "the ultimate bacon flavored spread," but I'd go as far to say that it could be the best condiment ever. Sorry ketchup. After the sandwich was gone, I was literally eating this stuff out of the jar with a spoon. 102 score out of 100.

Thank you to Marcus and the folks at Geek Monthly for the review!

 

Baconnaise - now available in single jars!

Just a quick note to let everyone know that Baconnaise and Baconnaise Lite are now available in single jars. In addition, Baconnaise Lite is back in stock! We've moved to some bigger production equipment, so we should be able to keep up with demand from now on.

Yours in bacon,
J&D

Bacon Salt Haiku

Craig Murphy, Social Anomaly, is at it again. He gives us the first Bacon Salt Haiku:

wondrous Bacon Salt
bacon-flavored condiment
granulated love

Good use of the 5-7-5, Craig. We've created our own right back at you:

From Craig Murphy-san
Comes Bacon-Flavored Gospel
Or An Egg Salad

Needs work, but this is only the second Bacon Salt-related haiku ever made, so we'll take a mulligan...

Bacon Salt Recipe: Bacon-Wrapped Smoked Sausage Chili Dogs with Bacon Salt (from Reddit)

Here's a recent recipe that sounds too good to be true from the awesome people in the Reddit bacon thread. As a native Chicagoan, nothing sounds more awesome than a bacon-wrapped dog or sausage....

I decided to mix three of my favorite foods; Bacon, Tony Packo's Hot Dog Sauce & Smoked Sausage. I ended up creating one of the greatest things my tongue has ever tasted: Bacon Wrapped Smoked Sausage Chili Dogs!

I pan fried smoked sausage that had been split lengthwise until it was almost cooked through then folded bacon over it longways and continued cooking until the Bacon had crisped to the outside of the sausage. This was placed on a bun and loaded up with Tony Packo's Chili Dog Sauce. Each dog was garnished with slivers of Tony Packo's Sweet Hot Pickles & Peppers than sprinkled with Bacon Salt, fresh ground sea salt and ground black pepper.

It was heaven.
