The Ultimate Man Sandwich

What would you say if I told you that I, The Bacon Covered Unicorn, created a sandwich that is so good that some would call it sandwitchcraft? Well, I've done it. Here it is... The Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich.


I hate sandwiches. I'm not sure why, I just do. That being said, I was sitting here thinking about all of the greatest things that can be found in nature (swine, cheese, basil, and spicy) and have been trying a few different variations of throwing them all together to create something that I would eat. So here's what I came up with:


The Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich

1 Jalapeno Cheese Bread
1/2 Pound Thick Cut Bacon
3 Slices of American Cheese
1/2 TBS Fresh Basil (chopped finely)
BBQ Sauce
Cracked Pepper
Ghee

First off, I use my own BBQ sauce. I realize as these letters populate the page that I haven't posted the recipe for said sauce, so I'll try to post it randomly this week. Second, you might be asking yourself "what is GHEE?" To that I say, read THIS to see what it is all about. If you have a mouth, you will love the taste of it. Keep in mind that if you are using GHEE, you need to use a CLEAN utensil with zero moisture on it or you will contaminate your beautiful ghee. You've been warned...

Now, on to the good stuff...

1. Fry your bacon, I like mine crisp! Reserve the fat for some other day, we won't be using it today.
2. In a different pan, melt a little bit of ghee. Trust me, a little bit goes a long way.
3. Slice the Jalapeno Cheese Bread into 2 pieces, sandwich style.
4. When it smells like a delicious movie theater popcorn trough (that's the magic of ghee), place one of the pieces of bread into the pan, inside down. Get it crispy.
5. IMMEDIATELY put a slice or 2 of cheese on the bread, you want to use the heat to melt the cheese.
6. Repeat step 4 and 5 with the other slice of bread.
7. Put the bacon on the bottom slice of bread. Add a healthy squirt of BBQ sauce and the basil.
8. Crack some pepper on the bacon mix.
9. Put the top on. Eat. Be happy.

I happened to eat a Mango with this because I'm not a damned cretin. It worked out amazing. Feel free to mess with the recipe. Let me know what you've come up with.

Lard? Lard is for bitches...

I realize as I begin to type this that I never posted the steps for making my carnitas. I also realize, I forgot pictures so the next time I make this, I'll add them. That being said, I have but one more thing to add... LARD IS FOR BITCHES! (Memorial Day Carnitas re-mix). Traditional Carnitas is made using a TON of lard. Me, I'm way more healthy than that and have replaced the lard with Bacon Grease.

Welcome!

Hello friends! Having been inspired by people that I adore and admire to write, I've decided to start a blog about my adventure with cooking and everything that goes along with that. My goal is to write something once a week and upload by Sunday evening.  Mostly, this is just a way for me to write about one of the things that makes me most happy in life - COOKING.

New Dutch Oven!

I couldn't resist purchasing a  SUPER-AWESOME DUTCH OVEN  from Amazon. As I type, I realize that UPS tried to drop it off today and I was in K-Town eating delicious Korean BBQ, so I missed it. Hopefully I can get my hands on it tomorrow to get it seasoned in time for the weekend. The maiden voyage for said Dutch Oven will be Carnitas! Mostly because I just bought a 6 pound Pork Shoulder that really wants to be in my mouth-hole. See you guys this weekend.
