Wordless{ish} Wednesday: Bacon of hearts.
{What do you do for your sweetheart when you’re on a budget for Valentine’s Day… and, you are not a chef and only sort of know how to work the oven? How about Valentine’s bacon? Yes! Need a recipe? Ok!}
{Bacon of Hearts
- 12 slices of bacon
- … that’s it!
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400. Cut your bacon slices in half. Using two pieces of the cut in half bacon… shape them into a heart on a sheet pan (make sure this pan has sides so the grease doesn’t get all over your oven!). Bake for 18 – 25 minutes (or until done). Serve on a fancy plate or a pretty box and share with your loved one. Extra credit if you dip the bacon in chocolate! Yum!

{Above is what I had waiting for Mike when he got home from work… a glass of wine, a card from Ruari, a smelly candle, some cheap chocolate and an amazing bacon heart! Ha ha. Mike made VERY yummy steak with blue cheese, rice, and salad (topped with a bacon heart) for me for Valentine’s day… along with some ice cream sandwiches. Valentine’s on a budget! Perfect. I hope you all enjoyed your day! Whether you celebrate Valentine’s or not.

SO Cute! I finally tried this this morning but some of them came apart. I think using thicker bacon might help with getting them to stand up like yours. I also sprinkled them with a tiny bit of brown sugar and cayenne pepper… OH MY!
Brown sugar and cayenne? Oh man! Yum!
Also… I've learned that some bacon just doesn't work. Some of it just needs to be "floppy".
I am making this right now. I folded the slices in half (long ways) since they were a little on the thin side and I covered the plans in foil to prevent burning.
Good idea! Enjoy!

Except I ended up using two strips of bacon for each heart instead of cutting them in half. I couldn't get the half-strips to stay like yours did!
Thanks again for the cute idea.
Very cute! Yay!

In the South we always say… "Love your heart!" in the same way people say "Bless Your Heart!"
Well I love your heart (bacon), very very much – and I would "hug your neck" if I saw you just for introducing me to it. Greetings from TN!
