Bacon is meat candy.

[Capt Jack]

agreed. also the nice thing about makin' bacon in the oven is you can treat it to some very interesting add ons. from as simple as freshly ground pepper to a light glaze of maple syrup, garlic powder etc. something youre hard pressed to do in a fry pan

I put mine on a non-stick baking cooling rack in the sheet pan - that keeps it out of the fat while it cooks.

sounds ok, but....the images make me a little sad for some reason

The Texas Turtle Burger...



Here’s a Summer Cookout idea.

½ pound handmade ground beef patties, topped with sharp cheddar cheese, wrapped in a bacon weave, then the next step, add hotdogs as the heads, legs and tail. Place on an oven rack, covered loosely with foil and baked for 20-30 minutes at 400 degrees. A little crispy, not too crunchy...just how a turtle should be, no?






One has to wonder what one should use for a bun ...

Ike's Place gets an eviction notice after much haggling. Not of interest to anyone really (unless you love their sandwiches). Article here but it was this quote that jumped out:

As the popularity of Shehadeh's shop grew, neighbors became increasingly frustrated with the blocklong lines, noisy customers and persistent smell of fried bacon.

Like that is a bad thing?

Anything that requires baconweaving is a sin in the eyes of our lord.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Which makes it that much tastier.

You mean I can get sin with my bacon?
WooHoooo!
