bumping for anyone who didn't see it first time around

Ingredients from Bacos: Defatted soy flour, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, water, salt, sugar, natural and artificial flavor (some type of glutamate no doubt, but not MSG because I'm allergic to that and it would give me a stomache ache), artificial color, and red 40, maltodextrin, dextrose, tocopherol, (preservative). I am allergic to nitrates, they give me headaches, so I buy natural bacon and keep it in the freezer. I slice off some bits to fry for flavor, but not for the broccoli slaw style salad. I don't mind a dash of the soy product stuff to add some bacon flavor to something like soups and salads or braised greens, if it's just a dash for flavor. It absolutely is full of sugar and salt so that's why I said use judiciously. In a BLT where bacon is a key ingredient rather than a flavoring, I want real bacon, I tried the soy stuff for BLTs and it didn't cut it for me. Also, some of my friends are vegans and others are observant Jews and Muslims, so the Baco bits work for when I am cooking for a mixed crowd, which is what my gang tends to be. I'm liking the idea of smoked almonds for salads though. I have been avoiding them due to the salt content, but a few might be interesting in salads.

I can't wait for local fresh tomatoes to start. I'm going to try this recipe, when they do. I'll just have to have a few BLT's first, but then..... this sounds yummy! Thanks Doris. Nancy

Here's the recipe I had: Pull Apart Bacon Bread Time 15-20 minutes Serves 8 Ingredients 12 slices of Bacon, diced 1 (1 lb) loaf frozen bread dough, thawed 2 Tbsp. olive or vegetable oil, divided 1 cup (4 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese 1 (1 oz) envelope Ranch salad dressing mix How to make it In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat for 5 minutes or until partially cooked. Drain on paper towels. Roll dough out to 1/2 inch thickness and brush with 1 tablespoon oil. Cut into 1 -inch pieces; place in a large bowl. Add the bacon, cheese, dressing mix and remaining oil. Toss to coat. Arrange pieces in a 9 x5 inch square on a greased baking sheet, layering as needed. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Cover with foil and bake 5 to 10 minutes longer or until golden brown. *** Sharon, my sincerest condolences on your loss.
