Bakin’ with Bacon and King Teddy

Welcome Visitors to Baconia – the land where bacon rules! 

I am your Chef, King Teddy – yes it’s good to be King………….and I take over the castle’s kitchen every Saturday to share a recipe with all of you who love bacon as much as we in Baconia do.    Last week I gave you a VERY COMPLICATED recipe which is not “the usual” for me.   I generally give you something pretty easy to make but threw you for a loop last week.     I’m making up for that this week with not only an EASIER recipe but a very very yummy one too.   In fact, this is one of the BEST snacks or “take to the neighbors for drinks” or “bring on a picnic” things EVER.     And just for your info – this recipe calls for 8 strips of bacon but when we tested it we used TEN strips – like any self-respecting bacon-a-holic would!

Ready?

Did I say EASY?    Did you think I was kidding?     This really is easy and if you’re a fan of the BLT (which the Royal Parents of ME are) then it’s right up your alley.    Give it a whirl.  Oh boy.   And we discovered while we made this that I am a fan of cream cheese.    HAHAHAHA

I know that you all are not “average” right?  I know I’m not!

I’ll see you here in the kitchen next Saturday?   

The King……..
