Wild hog bacon!!

This is a little off topic but have you ever baked bacon? I got this off a cooking show and it really works. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, lay out the bacon strips touching is OK but over lapping doesn't work well. Then bake at 400 degrees. I don't remember the time, I smell for the done aroma and check often. This produces the most evenly cooked crisp bacon you ever had...

The only way I'll fry bacon anymore is if I'm on a camping trip and I don't do that anymore either...

BigMike: Lamb bacon is super fatty and best used for beans, rather than a side to eggs in my opinion.

bswiv: With today's advances in technology, I would suspect our first "smell-o-vision" to be within a good decade or so lol

Geezerbiker: Absolutely! It's also pretty good from the microwave, providing it's a good unit.


Right now marks about 37 hours drying in the fridge. Tomorrow, they get some smoke!
 
Here we are getting some smoke. I tried something different since it was from a wild hog and went with mesquite. All I have to say is: WOW!!



Here we are all sliced up and ready to put in the pan. This batch makes for some EXCELLENT BLT's!! I think the mesquite added such an awesome flavor profile for sandwiches. Texas Toast with chipotle mayo, a little spicy brown mustard, lettuce and tomato. Sorry I didn't get a pic of any of the sandwiches, you'll have to use your imagination there :cool:

 
I sure wish I could go hog hunting in your neck of the woods. There's none here and the OR dept of fish and game are working hard to keep it that way...
