Skillet Bacon Spread [Review]

I'm sure the mass majority of us will agree that we LOVE bacon. My husband will argue that its impossible to live without, so it goes without saying that we were both overwhelmed with excitement when I got the opportunity to be invited and try something most of us have yet to hear about; Skillet Bacon Spread!

Your probably wondering what it is exactly and you'd be right to know that it truly is QUICKLY growing into the next BIG thing as far as condiments are concerned.

What IS Skillet Bacon Spread?

Well, we take a big bunch of really, really good bacon and render it down…add a bunch of spices, onions, etc. and let it simmer for about 6 hours, give it a quick puree, blast chill it…take a left turn, and end up in pure bacon heaven. Our Skillet bacon spreads and pumpkin sauces do not require any refrigeration until they are opened. They are all shelf stable and each have a freshness date on the label that we recommend you use or freeze by.

My Review

My husband and I first decided to skip the creative aspect and go for adding some to our hamburgers, they were FULL of flavor from bacon and onions, all the seasoning came together in a perfect blend! It was sweet yet tangy just an all around perfect combination. We loved it and from that point forward we argued about who was going to cook and use it next. We truly couldn't find anything it didn't taste good with. In the morning my husband would spread a bit on his toast, for a late lunch I packed a baked potato and some skillet bacon spread. All of these were wonderful, but then one night, I came across a recipe on Skillet Bacon Spread's website; Skillet Bacon Chicken with Mushrooms. My husband decided he was going to cook dinner and made it. The first bite and it was heaven. I truly thought I was going to be out of the running for cooking. Of course I know it had EVERYTHING to do with the spread and not so much the "cook", but there was concern. I've already ordered more, this is by far the greatest spread & condiment we have ever had! It goes great with hotdogs, hamburgers, mixed in with fried rice, chicken, baked potato, and so much more! With Valentine's Day approaching quickly, thankfully they offer 1 day delivery, because there are just so many things to make with the Bacon Skillet Spread!

Skillet Bacon Chicken with Mushrooms Recipe

 

Serves: 4

Just a spoonful of Skillet bacon jam stirred in turns pan juices into a dynamite sauce for sautéed chicken. Add a dash of cream for pure delicious indulgence. Other chicken pieces work well, just adjust cooking time. If you are lucky enough to have any leftovers, shred glazed chicken and pile on a crusty bun with some aged cheddar.

Ingredients

1 tbsp (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp (15 ml) butter
4 whole chicken legs
Pinch Kosher or Sea Salt
Pinch freshly ground pepper
1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped fresh rosemary
8 ounces (226 g) medium-sized mushrooms, quartered
1/2 cup (120 ml) red wine
1/2 cup (120 ml) chicken stock or ¼ cup stock and ¼ cup cream
2 tb (30 ml) Skillet Original Bacon Spread
Fresh lemon juice to taste

Instructions

In a large frying pan, heat oil and butter over medium high heat.

Season chicken lightly with salt and pepper and add to pan. Brown well, about 10 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to medium, add rosemary and mushrooms. Stir occasionally to cook mushrooms evenly and continue to cook until chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more. 


Remove chicken and mushrooms to a side plate. Remove excess fat from pan and add wine and stock. Stir to release cooking juices and reduce to sauce consistency. Stir in Skillet Original Bacon Spread: heat through for a minute. Add cream, if using.

Taste and sharpen flavor with a dash of lemon juice. Return chicken and mushrooms to the pan: heat briefly, stirring to coat with the smoky onion sauce.

Joke Wednesday - Bedside Manners

Susie's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months. Things looked grim, but she was by his bedside every single day. One day as he slipped back into consciousness, he motioned for her to come close to him. She pulled the chair close to the bed and leaned her ear close to be able to hear him.

"You know" he whispered, his eyes filling with tears, "you have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired, you stuck right beside me. When my business went under, there you were. When we lost the house, you were there. When I got shot, you stuck with me. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. "And you know what?"

"What, dear?" she asked gently, smiling to herself.

"I think you're bad luck."

Joke Wednesday - Wrong Email

A Minnesota couple decided to vacation to Florida during the winter. They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday. His wife would fly down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her e-mail address, and without realizing his error, he sent the e-mail.

Meanwhile.....somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister of many years who was called home to glory following a sudden heart attack. The widow decided to check her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she fainted.

The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: 16 May 2003
I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send e-mails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is not as uneventful as mine was.
P.S. Sure is hot down here!

Joke Wednesday - Two Words

A prince had a curse put on him when he was a little boy. He could only speak two words every year. But, if he didn't speak for a whole year, he would then be able to speak 4 words the next year and so on.

One day he met a princess named Josie and he wanted to say "My Princess".

The next year he saw her he wanted to say "My princess, i love you".

The third year he saw her he wanted to say "My princess I love you, will you marry me?" But, the young prince, now growing older knew he would have to wait a couple more years.

So, on the fifth year, excited to finally present his question, he visited the princess.

He approached her respectfully and asked, "JOSIE, MY PRINCESS, I LOVE YOU. WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

And the princess said, "Pardon?"

Joke Wednesday - The Accident

My six-year-old grandson called his mother from his friend Charlie's house and confessed he had broken a lamp when he threw a football in their living room.

"But, Mom," he said, brightening, "you don't have to worry about buying another one. Charlie's mother said it was irreplaceable."
