Canadian Bacon

[Brisket Lover]

So how do you eat CB?  As a breakfast meat, on a sandwich, as a main course?  I've only had CB and that was with breakfast.  No vac sealer yet so I want to make sure it won't get wasted.  I've been having pretty good luck with freezer paper and ziplocks but still some crytals on it after a month or so.

The question is, how DON'T you eat CB

I would eat it in a box
I would eat it with a fox(y) lady
I would eat it here or there
I would eat it anywhere

Out of hand
on crackers with (smoked) cheese

Breakfast - warmed with eggs
lunch - on a sammie

snack - melt a little cheese on it under the broiler.

Um...it's natural home....eggs benedict? yummo...we have served it as appetizers (cubed up with cheese and spicey mustard) , breakfast, brunch, lunch (on a sandwich) ah...ah...you name it...just do it...anything you would do with ham is applicable IMHO...

I have diced it up and sprinkled it over waffle batter before closing the waffle iron. Yum....


the cake timer is going off........

Brisket Lover, we make our own Egg McMuffins, and we put McDonalds to shame.  We have also used our Canadian bacon on pizza and with pasta.  Like LQ said, use it like you would ham.  Eggs benedict would be awesome.
AND DON'T FORGET to try Hab's peameal bacon.  It is canadian bacon sliced, dipped in egg, the dipped in cornmeal, and fried.  WONDERFUL STUFF!
I have made pea salad and used Canadian bacon instead of ham.  Another EXCELLENT twist!

Hey seemore...I have McDonalds recipes for every meal they have...it's very interesting...down to every sauce, the cut of meat, fish, french fies, the whole nine yards....

Interesting story..

[Smokin Soon]

Yes! I do Habs McMuffins every weekend!

[Yooper Jim]

All excellent ways to eat CB.  My favorite is fried on a toasted bagel smeared with blue cheese.

Yooper, Canadian Bacon with blue cheese on a bagel???  THat sounds WONDERFUL!
Welcome, by the way!

LQ, please tell me how you happen to have all of Mickey D's recipes???

???

seemore...actually an executive of McDonalds apparently left his employ and took "all the secrets" with him! It's pretty kool...how ya make all of their stuff...McNuggets (which product is used), McEverything...which fish, what brand of burgers, the ingredients in the sauces...really quite interesting. I don't eat fast food but it's kinda a kool thing to read. I got it from a friend out here (as he made Bob and I an authentic sausage/egg McMuffin one morning while we were visiting). It tasted EXACTLY like what you get a Mcki Ds...

Anyhoo...I don't know if the executive leaving story is true...just a rumor as far as I know personally...but I do have "the cookbook".

How about putting some CB on a pizza! Mmmmmm... Maybe with some pineapple....

;D

[FLBentRider]

That sounds good. A Canadian Bacon and Pineapple Pizza and some onions.

We put them in the smoker this morning:

We smoked them following Hab's recipe, and we netted them.  They were smoked at 225 for 4 1/2 hours with hickory - OOPS!  We were out of maple and had to improvise - to an IT of 140.
Here they are:

The aroma coming off of these is incredible!  It is going to be a LONG two days waiting period......

[FLBentRider]

Yes it is a long 2 days, but you always have the "quality control" slice off the end!

[Habanero Smoker]

Hickory is fine. I never thought of using netting. Much easier then tying. :)
