The Bacon Lover box includes the Baconer’s full line-up of artisanal bacon products. The 10 items include: 2 x (20oz) Smoky Paprika XXL Bacon Steak, 2 x (12oz) Maple Sugar Small-Batch Bacon Strips, 2 x (12oz) Smoky Paprika Small-Batch Bacon Strips, 2 x (8oz) Smoked Lardons, 2 x (6oz) Ground Bacon

Smoky Paprika Small-Batch Bacon Strips and Maple Sugar Small-Batch Bacon Strips: These small-batch strips are just thick enough to retain a light chew and perfectly seasoned (not too salty, like some store-bought bacon). Their smokiness is sweet and flavorful, without being harsh and campfire-like. The Maple Sugar has a light, pleasant sweetness, and the Smoky Paprika has a subtle, smoky heat from the paprika and black pepper.

Paprika XXL Bacon Steak: These 1/2 inch thick bacon steaks aren’t for the faint of heart. We like to think of them as special occasion bacon, decadent and deeply flavored enough to be a showstopper at brunch or dinner, with a hint of warm spice from the paprika. Sear them in 2-inch pieces if you’re intimidated by their size; these are great on salads, risotto or with eggs.

Smoked Lardons: Lardons, bite-sized pieces from slab bacon, are used for their fat, flavor and texture. These have a great ratio of fat to muscle. Crisp them up (start in a cold pan) until the fat is rendered out and the pieces are golden-brown—use the lardons to garnish and cook with the flavorful bacon fat left behind.

Ground Bacon: Use 100% unadulterated coarse ground bacon to add smoky bacon flavor and salty boost to burgers, meatloaf, meatballs and soups or use as a crispy, crumbly garnish.

How to use

The Baconer’s small-batch products are the closest thing to butcher-shop bacon.

Run-of-the-mill grocery stores may carry decent bacon, but finding a range of flavors or innovative cuts—like slab, thick-cut or lardons—can be a challenge. The Baconer’s craft products start with humanely raised, antibiotic-free pigs from family farms. Every product is cured with one of Baconer’s creative flavors—like maple sugar or spicy jalapeño—then smoked low and slow over applewood chips, before being cut to order and shipped overnight.

We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.

HOW TO USE

The Maple Sugar bacon pairs beautifully with the sweetness of our Brussels Sprouts with Apple, Bacon and Honeyed Pecans, while also adding some smoky savoriness. Top our Kimchi and Bacon Fried Rice with crisped-up lardons, ground bacon or bacon steak (and fry the rice in rendered bacon fat). Try the Smoky Paprika Small-Batch Bacon Strips or XXL Bacon Steaks in our Steak and Bacon Tacos (Tacos de Alambre). Add a small amount of ground bacon to our Neapolitan Meatballs with Ragù for a flavor boost. A little goes a long way, because of the ground bacon’s salty flavor—try a quarter-pound of bacon for every pound of beef. When crisping up any of the Baconer’s products, use the rendered bacon fat for cooking—we love it for lentil soup, roasting vegetables, frying potatoes or baking cornbread.
