Submitted by ckdake on Mon, 2008-12-08 13:47
Ever tried to figure out how you could use more bacon and more cheese and less everything else in a meal? Then bacon pies are for you! This recipe is guaranteed to fill your house, clothes, pets, and carpet with the flavorful aroma of bacon and cheese for weeks. The end result is surprisingly easy to eat and goes great with very very dry bread and high-gravity beer. When cooked properly, the cheese will be fluffy with a consistency similar to scrambled eggs. Read on for the recipe!
Ingredients (Serves 4 people):
- 2 Lb Premium Thick Sliced Bacon
- 1 Lb Grocery Store Brand Shredded Mexican Cheese
Kitchen Equipment:
- Cast Iron Pot
- Cookie Sheet
- Huge Spatula
- Sharp Knife
- Frying Pan
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
- Finely chop 3 strips of bacon into tiny pieces and cook in the frying pan until crunchy.
- Weave remaining bacon strips into 2 lattices.
- Place one lattice on the cookie sheet and cook in the oven until golden brown.
Flip and drain grease as necessary.
- Place the other lattice in the cast iron pot and cook in the oven until golden brown. Drain grease as necessary.
- Pour the cheese on top of the lattice in the pot, stirring in the tiny bacon pieces as you go.
- Place the lattice from the cookie sheet on top of the cheese and sprinkle a tiny bit cheese on top of it.
- Turn off the oven, place the cast iron pot with all of the bacon and cheese in it back into the oven, and let the cheese start to melt.
- In ~15 minutes, the cheese on top should be melted and golden brown.
- Remove, slice, serve, and enjoy!

You must not have any Germans
You must not have any Germans where you live. You NEVER pour bacon grease down the drain! NEVER! You pour it into a cup, and put it in the refrigerator, then you use it to fry chicken, potatoes, whatever your heart (heh) desires.
Great recipe, by the way!

Eating that much pure cheese
Eating that much pure cheese and bacon would stop up your digestive system until you died of a heart attack... but at least you'd die happy!

I cannot believe it. I am
I cannot believe it. I am getting ready to open a restaurant and met w a man that is designing it for me. We are talking about everything and anything and we started talking about bacon. He tells me that they are trying to come up w a reciepe for bacon pie and cannot think of a way to do it. I tell him right away some ideas and he throws back at me his partner cannot eat egg. Well, that throws a huge monkey wrench into it. HUGE. So, I am now on a quest and have thought about it all day. NOTHING. ZILCH. NADA. Not good for someone who thinks she is a genius and is getting ready to open a restaurant and cannot figure out something as simple as a bacon pie. Not to be outdone, and being compulsive on many levels (different story for a different day) I decided to google bacon pie. Took me about 10 sites to get to you. I cannot stop laughing. I loved the comment "Genius." Anyway. my husband runs a Cracker Barrel and he has already added tomatoes and god knows what else. He cannot wait to get to work tomorrow to make this.
SO, what is your phone number so when he has a heart attack I can call you. I refuse to call 911 to tell this this one.
"Hello, yes can you please send the paramedics and a plumber? My husband has overdosed on BACON."
Thanks Guys.

I like bacon a lot but I tried to cut back on eating it, instead using turkey bacon. Maybe you can replace the bacon for your husband, preventing the heart attack. By the way, I would eat this with the real stuff, looks very good!
