Burgers' Smokehouse Bacon:  Easy Recipes

Tips for cooking bacon!

We love bacon!  We are especially partial to our bacon at Burgers' Smokehouse.  All of our bacon is dry-cured, no water added and slow smoked for a flavor and bite that is unique to our bacon and sets bacon recipes apart from other "recipes with bacon."

Today we are sharing a couple of our favorite bacon recipes that have been favorites of our team, including one pioneered by our own Mary (Burger) Keil, E.M. Burger's daughter.
