Bacon continues to be one of the hottest sweet-savory flavors around. You know when it shows up in vodka, it’s gone mainstream and is no longer a fad.
Michael Jordan’s Steak House offers a delicious Double Smoked Bacon appetizer made with Neuske’s brand bacon. Nueske’s is a family buisness that began in 1933 in northern Wisconsin and is known for selling select meats with just the right combination of leanness and tenderness, perfected spice blends and curing.
This recipe for Neuske’s Double-Smoked Bacon is another in our series shared by Chef Kyle Beausoleil of Michael Jordan’s Steak House , located in the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Because he’s in Connecticut, Chef uses Connecticut Maple Syrup in his recipe as well.
