Post some here, must include meat per AFSOC, so here's my cheeseball for you guys 2 8oz packages of cream cheese 1/2lb of shredded sharp cheddar 3 Tbl spn. Chopped green onions (I add them last the little green rings look nice if they're not all mashed to hell) 6 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon 1 tsp minced garlic 1 tsp finely chopped parsley Its nothing special but I did a ham glaze tonight that is 1/2 cup mixed fruit juice, 1/2 cup pepsi, about 3 Tsp of brown sugar and some cloves, add a little corn starch to thicken, cook it til it boils then I pour it over the ham. |

BOURBON BALLS 2 1/2 c. crushed vanilla wafers 2 tbsp. cocoa 1 c. powdered sugar (sifted and then measured) 1 c. chopped walnuts 3 tbsp. light corn syrup (White Karo) 1/2 c. Bourbon (or Rum or Brandy) Powdered sugar Mix crumbs, cocoa, powdered sugar and nuts. Add corn syrup and liquor. Thoroughly mix together. Form in 1 inch balls and roll in powdered sugar. Store in a covered can. These taste better after a few days |

Hashbrown Casserole 1 big bag shredded taters 1 lg onion 1 16oz sour cream 1# shredded extra sharp cheddar 1 heaping spoonful of minced garlic pinch of kosher salt and quite a few grinds of black pepper Rough chop onions, mix all parts w/ half of the cheese, spray cake pan, put in pan, cover w/ remaining cheese and cook for 45min-1hr on 375. Simple as heck, but tasty. I got a good one for venison I'll dig it up. It and the dipping sauce are to die for. |

Salty Balls, courtesy of "Chef from SouthPark": * 2 Tbsp. cinnamon * 2 or 3 egg whites * 1/2 stick melted butter * 1 cup flour * 1/4 cup unsweetened chocolate * 1/2 cup brandy * 1 or 2 bags sugar * pinch vanilla Directions: Mix the cinnamon, egg whites, and melted butter in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Mix in the flour, then the unsweetened chocolate, brandy, sugar, and vanilla. Place balls on a greased cookie sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees. Care should be taken when baking, as the length of time in the oven is not specified. It's possibly notable, this recipe does not mention salt as an ingredient. A practical recipe for the confection can be found in Isaac Hayes' book, Cooking with Heart & Soul. |

That's OK Watman, Surely the Hashbrown Casserol could be made "Better" with Bacon.... The "Salty Chocolate Balls" could probably be better if some sort of MEAT were included! Bacon is a tiny god and should be worshiped daily. If there were no bacon where would lettuce and tomato be? There would not be a "Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich on Toast" you just wouldn't do it!  Bacon chocolate chip cookies- (this is for a FULL batch) 3/4 cup butter(It has been suggested that using 1 full cup of butter works best due to cookie dough dryness) 2/3 cup packed brown sugar 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon hazelnut (or almond) extract *Edit- It has been suggested that the almond flavouring may be overpowering to the flavour of the cookie, feel free to add this ingredient to taste* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 egg (It has been suggested that using 2 eggs works best due to cookie dough dryness) 2 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup white chocolate chips 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips 2 cups bacon bits (if preferred, you can separate the dough into two parts and only make half of the dough into bacon cookies, in which case you'll only want to use 1 cup bacon bits) *An important note- Be sure to use real bacon bits, not Bacos *See large print at the bottom of this post* Also, you can make your own bacon bits, just make sure you pat down the bacon chunks with paper towels to remove as much extra bacon grease as possible. *Edit* one of my readers made their own bacon bits and found out that apparently it takes about 2lbs of bacon to make 2 cups of bacon bits, just for future reference. Directions- preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Beat together the butter, sugars, flavouring and eggs until creamy. In another bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir together. Dough will be slightly soft. If you want a cakier cookie, add another half cup of flour. Add in chocolate chips and bacon bits. Stir until well integrated. Place dough on a sheet of waxed paper and refrigerate at least an hour. Remove dough from fridge, pinch off 1 1/2 inch pieces of dough and roll into balls. Set dough balls about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten dough balls slightly with your fingers in the center. Bake cookies for about 10 minutes, or until the dough starts to turn golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on a cooling rack while you ready the glaze. Maple cinnamon glaze- 2 cups powdered sugar 1 tablespoon maple extract 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon cinnamon *edit- it has been suggested that 1 teaspoon may be a bit much, so go ahead and add to taste* enough water to make a thick glaze (I used about 3 tablespoons) Mix all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. If lumpy, use a whisk. Spread a small amount of the glaze on the top of each cookie and top with a small piece of crisp cooked bacon. |
Wrap bacon around any of those OR add bacon with it and you are eating well! |
