Holy shit Jay, that was so cruel, but I laughed so hard.

The silent ham won't remain silent on lonestar's bacon thread.  Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, ham.

So I had a though. Sausage gravy exists. And it's delicious. But is there bacon gravy? A nice, flavorful thick gravy with bits of bacon. Has anyone done this?

Yes.  The traditional gravy in biscuits and gravy is done with either sausage or bacon, depending on regionality and taste.  Cooking method, for me at least, is the same.  Render the bacon/sausage in a saucepan till cooked.  Drain the fat, leaving maybe half a cup or so, and ad minced onions and sweat.  Add half a cup of flour and stir well to make a roux.  Add a quart or so of whole milk, some dried sage, and reduce heat to a simmer, stirring often so as to not scorch the milk.  When thickened(you may need to add milk to thin to a proper thickness), season with salt, pepper(feel free to go heavy on the pepper, it works well), and a splash of tobasco, and enjoy over biscuits or fried chicken.  To go all in, make a country eggs benedict by layering biscuit, bacon or sausage patty, a poached egg, and smother with gravy.  You all can thank me later.

I like baking bacon and taking the excess fat and mix it with the hash browns I'm cooking.

That sounds god damn delicious. Fucking. I just came back from a really good meal and I'm still full. But that made me want to eat just to try that.

If I ever get ambitious (or convince one of my parents to be ambitious for me) I'm going to try that. My dad's a pretty big fan of sausage gravy and biscuits, so it'll probably be him.

Bacon fat is the superior cooking fat/oil.

It makes veggies taste like sexy candy.

Made this at work yesterday.

14 inch ciabatta loaf.
12 eggs
2/3 pound of cheese (half American and half cheddar)
8 hash brown patties
1.5 pounds of bacon

[lonestar]

Damn!

Protip- Drizzle the bun with some real maple syrup, not a lot, just enough to get the taste.  You won't be sorry.

[Jamesman42]

Yeah, I'd imagine the sweetness would help counteract that saltiness that sandwich implies.

It happened..thats right.. it happened

Day 7-9-11

Time: 10pm

Event: 5 strips of gourmet chocolate covered bacon.

Results: AWESOME!

[lonestar]

Very good, my young padwan. Next, the chicken fried bacon with sausage dipping gravy. If at that you succeed, the double cut, double smoke bacon you are ready for.

[TheMadgician]

I know it's about two and a half months off, but I'm going to convince my parents to get me a bacon explosion for my birthday. My body requires it.

Hey scio, I was thinking about a bacon explosion emote a la (I think I got that right) , but that just wouldn't be right.

Saw this thread tonight for the umpteenth time and it reminded me of one of my favorite snacks...baked jalapeño halves stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon.

I had a turkey club yesterday, with BACON ( of course)..Im on a major bacon roll..oh yes!!!

[lonestar]

Without bacon, its just a turkey sandwich. The bacon provides the 'club' atmosphere.

For some reason, your post in conjunction with your avatar really made me laugh.

[lonestar]

Fucking thing makes me laugh every time I log on.  A coworker saw it and said"what the hell are you watching" thinking I was on a porn site.

[Global Laziness]

I know it's Cyanide and Happiness, but what specifically is the GIF in your avatar from?

[lonestar]

Scio crpopped it for me from a strip posted in the Dance Party thread, page 1 or 2.

no doubt my brother Lonestar...as I bit into the first part of the club.. a disco ball came from the ceiling and the smoke machine went off..

needless to say..the bacon put the sandwich into the next dimension...
I dont remember what happened after that..I awoke hours later as the cute waitress asked if I wanted "pie" and of course I said "yes I want pie "  

now thats bacon...

Nice.  Too bad I just changed my avatar, and am in love with it, otherwise I would totally adopt it.

[EPICVIEW]

Its lunch time and bacon taunts me...its on my shoulder saying "cmon..you know you want me, you want me"...

damn you bacon... why do mock me...

[JayOctavarium]
