‘Tis I…….King Ted……Ruler of Castle Baconia and Chef to the stars (well maybe not stars but the castle staff anyway!)
It’s time for our weekly get together where I share a fabulous (hopefully) bacon-involved recipe with you and you (hopefully) give it a try and make it part of your meal repertoire! This is really tasty and refreshing with the tomatoes……having bacon on the top is like “icing on a cake” !!!
BLT Skillet
Ingredients
- 4 ounces uncooked linguine
- 4 bacon strips, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
- 1 plum tomato, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 garlic clove, minced

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Directions

That sounds very tasty. We have so many tomatoes, I am picking 2-3 pounds every day. They didn’t start ripening until mid July and now they are all coming at the same time. Not only that, they are bigger than usual. I think it might be the unusually high temperatures that caused it. I will probably make tomato and basil soup and freeze it for the winter.

Lucky you with so many tomatoes! As a little girl I remember “harvesting” them from our plants and just standing there eating them one by one – have always loved home-grown fresh tomatoes. Won’t it be wonderful to have a stash of homemade soups for the winter……yum.

Wow Teddy, you really know what you’re doing! That BLT Skillet looks amazing, and wouldn’t take a long time to make either. Bacon is often given a bad name, but I’m with you. I haven’t ever tried baking with bacon, though. I hear there’s such a thing as candied bacon. Woo-hoo!

Candied bacon is amazing – but one of those things that is almost “too good” !

Teddy, Mom thinks this looks scrumptious. She’s thinking it might be good with sun dried tomatoes instead of fresh, but that’s because she really loves them. Sure looks easy as well, our Mom’s favorite type of recipe.

I’m sure dried tomatoes would be terrific – they are “sweeter” too (Mom says).
