Bacon Lunch Box

One of the greatest sauces in the history of sauce.  Stubb’s BBQ.  If you haven’t tried it, you should be ashamed.

So what makes this BBQ sauce so special?  C.B. Stubblefield himself will gladly give you the recipe if you ask.

“The recipe alone is just words on paper and that won’t do it.’”

There seems to something more than just a perfect balance of molasses and mesquite in every bottle.  So go buy Stubb’s.  Not because I told you so, but because your next grilled steak/chicken/etc. will thank you.

A combination of chicken, pasta, tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, vinegar oil, oregano, and basil.  Top it off with parmesan cheese for some extra kick!

Don’t feel bad if you make a pound of pasta, and eat the entire thing by yourself. I’ve been known to eat a trough of this stuff. 

Every American knows this country was built on a foundation of bacon, grilled cheese, and MacGyver.  Monday, I took it upon myself to pay tribute to the most daring and gooey of the three, grilled cheese.

Inspired by “The Calvert” featured on an episode of Bobby Flay’s Throwdown, I set out to make a one of the greatest grilled cheese sandwiches ever.  And I may have succeeded.

The ingredients include fluffy ciabatta bread, ripe avocado, fresh tomatoes, monterey jack cheese, oven roasted turkey, honey mustard, and of course bacon.

The result was something our founding fathers would have been proud of.

Almost every Sunday morning, we’ll make an awesome, food coma inducing breakfast.  This week, I decided to turn the traditional scrambled eggs into a sandwich, because everyone knows everything tastes better in sandwich form. 

I call this sandwich the “Triple Cheese MattMuffin with Egg”:

• Scrambled egg whites with a tiny bit of garlic powder, onion powder, and shredded chedder cheese
• Hash browns with a touch of garlic powder, onion powder, and cheese
• Bacon (of course)
• English muffin toasted with butter and topped with shredded cheese

Lunch on a lazy Saturday.  Two 97% fat-free hot dogs, sour cream, salsa, and onions.  I usually add tomato, but unfortunately, we were out.  I know you think this whole concoction is crazy, but I actually learned this recipe from my old college roomate.  I wasn’t a believer either…

Until I tasted it.

The only thing better than breakfast is having it for dinner.  There seems to be something magical about having scrambled eggs or french toast for dinner.  On the menu tonight was an old favorite, pancakes.

Joining the party was bacon, a must when cooking any breakfast, and hash-browns.  To spice up the potatoes, I added garlic powder, onion powder, and a dash of shredded cheese.
