Your guests will thank you.

Bacon Lunch & Dinner Recipes

Main dishes made with bacon are easy to come by -- meatloaf with a layer of bacon on top makes a juicy, flavorful meal, and a bacon cheeseburger or a grilled cheese with bacon are common meals -- but you can mix it up. Slather your burger with bacon jam and top it with cheddar cheese or wrap your pork chops in bacon with a side of mashed potatoes to give your meal balance. If your meal only requires the essence of bacon, try a bacon mac, bacon potato salad, a salad topped with homemade bacon ranch, or roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon for side dishes with meaty accents. Understated or over-the-top, there's a delish bacon recipe for just about every dinner table.

Bacon Dessert Recipes

While maple bacon is the perfect balance of salty and sweet, there are hundreds of dessert recipes that involve bacon. Try saying no to maple-bacon fudge or bacon chocolate bark! They're both easy recipes, but if you want to get really creative with your bacon desserts, you can try your hand at bacon baklava or bacon brittle -- both would make great Christmas treats for holiday parties. There's no reason to dismiss bacon as dessert!
