129/365 - The Bacon Bomb

The Bacon Bombs

Cooked the bacon bombs today. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Overall I learned a lot from the experience. Here are some tips I got:

• More seasoning. The bombs were relatively bland. If it wasn't for the gravy my mother-in-law came up with, I doubt it would have tasted very good.
• Hotter oven, longer cooking time. Apparently I read the thermometer wrong, thinking it was in Centigrade, but it was actually in Fahrenheit. My bad, so the oven wasn't as hot as I wanted. Plus I should have baked this for at least an hour, so I had to re-bake them at the in-laws.
• Use plain bacon. I used honeycured bacon, and it sorta messed up the taste.
• Use a wet rub before baking. I tried this brown sugar dry rub before baking but I don't think this needed to be sweeter than usual.

Out.
