Bacon-Wrapped Pickles

Ingredients

  • 10 pickle halves
  • 1 package Boulder Sausage Bacon
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 2 oz sour cream
  • Scallions, sliced
  • Shredded pepper jack
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Ranch for dipping
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (if you like your bacon extra crispy, try baking it for 4-6 minutes before wrapping around the pickles).
  2. Halve pickles and scoop out seeds/insides. Throw away the insides. Pat pickles dry with a paper towel.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheese, scallions, onion powder, and chili powder. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Scoop mixture into the halved pickles, then wrap with a strip of bacon. Poke through with a toothpick to help keep the pickles held together.
  5. Place pickles on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until the bacon is brown and crispy.
  6. Let pickles cool and garnish with parsley, then serve with ranch dressing.

For a fun and unique flavor, try soaking the bacon in whiskey overnight before you make this recipe! This will be sure to add a sweet, memorable taste that you’ll want to replicate over and over again!

Pasta Carbonara

By | Bacon | No Comments

Pasta Carbonara

Ingredients:

6-8 strips of Boulder Sausage bacon, sliced into pieces about 1/4 inch thick by 1/3 inch square
2 large eggs and 2 large yolks at room temperature
1 cup of grated Pecorino Romano
1 cup of grated Parmesan
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces spaghetti (about 3/4 box)
1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Heat a large pot of salted water on the stove. Once the water has reached a rolling boil, add the dry pasta, and cook, uncovered, at a rolling boil.
  2. While the water is coming to a boil, heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook slowly until crispy. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Remove from heat and put the bacon and garlic into a large bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and mix in about half of the cheese.
  4. When the pasta is al dente (still a little firm, not mushy), move it to the bowl with the bacon and garlic quickly, (you want the pasta to be hot so it will heat the eggs sufficiently to create a creamy sauce). Toss the pasta with bacon: while still dripping wet. Reserve some of the pasta water.
  5. Allow the pasta to cool just enough so that it doesn’t make the eggs curdle, then add the beaten egg mixture and toss quickly to combine once more. Add salt to taste. Add some pasta water back to the pasta to keep it from drying out.
  6. Serve at once with the rest of the Parmesan, Romano, and freshly ground black pepper. Top with chopped parsley.
