It is good. Place AL foil over baking dish, put bacon in & lightly sprinkle w/brown sugar, bake @400 till done. No mess.
If you REALLY wanna go for the artery-hardening-goodness, wrap little smokies in bacon, sprinkle with brown sugar, and bake as above. (Honey also works....gives a better 'crispy' glaze, but the flavor isn't as intense);)

Great...now I'll have to try both of those ideas this weekend when I get home from school. That sounds soooo good...I've never had bacon that wasn't either fried in a pan or microwaved :lol:
Though a good recipe I heard (and tried...yum!) was chopping up bacon and mixing it with ground beef, before forming burgers to grill. That was very good!

You mean the shirt? He seems fairly competitive with all that "training harder than I" routine.

Other than that, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Whats wrong with the fake plant. They require minimal watering.



However I seen this on a sign someplace but not sure where it was but "The greatest pleasures in life is doing what people say you can not do".

Talking of brown sugar and bacon.... if you are a hunter and need a good recipe for a venison tenderlion try this:

[*] 2lbs venison tenderloins(a single deer loin or Moose or Elk or Pork or Beef) [*] 1/2lb bacon[*]3 cups brown sugar
[*] 2cups soy sauce Mix brown Sugar and Soy sauce together in a bowl. They should combine nicely into a soupy soy liquid.

Put Deer Loin in a cooking tray and pour Brown Sugar/Soy Sauce mixture over loin. Roll tenderloin over in mixture, completely covering it.

Let meat marinate in mixture at least 3 hours or overnight in fridge. It's best to marinate for 8 hours if you have the time. Also GREAT to use a Food Saver or other Vacuum device to Vacuum pack/seal the meat with Marinade. With this method, you can achieve Overnight-level marinade in just a couple hours!

Remove loin from tray, and place on a slotted bake sheet with a drip pan or aluminum foil below to catch dripping. Don't throw away marinade.

Wrap a piece of bacon around the very end of the tenderloin, securing the bacon strip with a toothpick.

Repeat this process until the entire loin is wrapped in ten or so bacon "loops." The tenderloin should look like an arm with a bunch of wrist watches on it, the watches being the bacon strips.

Drizzle remaining marinade over deer loin. You can continue to baste the loin with the marinade throughout the cooking process with either a brush or a turkey baster.

Place on center rack in oven and bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes.

Remove from oven and place on cutting board. Using a knife, cut the loin between each strip of bacon so that you have many pieces of meat, each with their own toothpick.


I got that recipe from http://www.recipezaar.com/139664 and it is great!
