A Meatacular Christmas Gift





Share
Some of the best things about being married to Clare are the gifts that her parents give me (us?) each Christmas.  Ever since our first Christmas together her parents have given me a box of country meats: bacon, sausage and ham.  I look forward to this every year and as luck would have it, my gift arrived a little early this year.

The meats come from Broadbent's B & B Food's close to Clare's home town.



They include a gift card with each box and a lot of packing peanuts.



As in years past we received two 14 oz. packages of hickory smoked bacon, 2lb. roll of smoked country sausage and a 10 oz. package of country ham steaks.



I love waking up on a Saturday morning and frying up some of the bacon or sausage, but sometimes these ingredients call for more.  Over the years we've found a few different recipes that showcase these delicious smoked meats but we're always looking for new ways to use these gifts.  Which begs the question, what's your favorite ways to use bacon, sausage and country ham?
