Yesterday when I went to the Beer and Wine depot for some beer Sandman gave me a nice sample of his coffee brined bacon. He had showed it to me the other day just out of the smoker. He used pork butt instead of side meat. I wanted to fry up some when I got home but had things to do so I waited until today.
I cooked a batch of old fashioned yellow grits. I got my Lodge steel skillet out and fried up 3 pieces of the bacon. As it was frying I thought I should have used the bigger skillet and done more! After the bacon was done I fried two eggs in the bacon grease with lid on to self-baste. I served it all up with some buttered toast.
That bacon was sure good; I could tell it was a little different than his normal bacon but can’t really say I could taste the coffee. I reluctantly gave my wife a bite and she said that is good and I can taste the coffee. Thanks Sandman for the nice sample! It sure was good with the eggs and grits!
