Hickory bacon-flavored mashed potatoes

Fast, easy and delicious!

• 3 lbs. red potatoes, skin on, cut in quarters
• 1 stick of butter, melted

Hickory bacon-flavored tomato soup

Fast, easy and delicious! You'll need an immersion blender for this.

• 3 to 4 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 cans whole tomatoes
• 1 whole onion, chopped
• 1/2 can chicken broth
• 4 to 5 sprigs of fresh thyme
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Hickory Bacon Salt to taste

Saute the garlic for 30 seconds in the olive oil. Add the onions, and saute until crisp-tender. Add the whole tomatoes and sauce and use kitchen shears to cut them in small pieces in the pot. Add the chicken broth, thyme and 1 tbsp Hickory Bacon Salt and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Take out the thyme, blend with the immersion blender until smooth. Add more Hickory Bacon Salt and pepper to taste.

Bacon Salt Scrambled Eggs

I love bacon so much that I used to make bacon and scramble my eggs in bacon grease. This recipe, however, is actually better tasting and better for you. I guarantee you'll never want to eat scrambled eggs any other way.

• 4 to 6 eggs
• Splash of milk
• Bacon Salt - whatever's your favorite, I prefer Original in this

The most important part of this recipe is to mix the Bacon Salt into the eggs as you whisk them. With Original in particular, you can be generous without oversalting it - said one guest (a gourmet salt aficionado) "this is so good, it would be hard to overdo it." 

Cook over medium-high heat, serve and dig in!
