Chicken, Bacon, Squash “Pie”
You can go pie crust or puff pastry with this one, and like most of our recipes, the ingredients are flexible! Make it your own depending on what type of bounty you have kicking around!
Ingredient: Bacon
Bacon has grown in popularity. It is not just for breakfast anymore. Bacon is used in both sweet and savory applications, below is a photo of bacon going into a batch of chocolate chip cookies!
Bacon comes from our friend the pig. It is a fatty meat from the belly and sides of the pig. Most bacon goes through a salting or curing process, as well as a smoking process. In my opinion, bacon is delicious and we love farm fresh bacon. You will notice a significant difference between fresh local bacon and the bacon packaged in a grocery store. Bacon has a high fat to meat ratio, it is essential for the flavor we all know and love. Save that bacon fat!
