Bacon

Bacon is a meat product prepared from a pig and usually cured. It is first cured using large quantities of salt, either in a brine or in a dry packing; the result is fresh bacon (also known as green bacon). Fresh bacon may then be further dried for weeks or months in cold air, or it may be boiled or smoked. Fresh and dried bacon is typically cooked before eating, often by frying. Boiled bacon is ready to eat, as is some smoked bacon, but may be cooked further before eating.

Bacon is prepared from several different cuts of meat. It is usually made from side and back cuts of pork, except in the United States and Canada, where it is most commonly prepared from pork belly (typically referred to as “streaky”, “fatty”, or “American style” outside of the US and Canada). The side cut has more meat and less fat than the belly. Bacon may be prepared from either of two distinct back cuts: fatback, which is almost pure fat, and pork loin, which is very lean. Bacon-cured pork loin is known as back bacon.

Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Warm a sauté pan to medium heat.
  2. Add bacon to sauté pan and begin cooking.
  3. Place squash on parchment lined baking sheet, and into oven (while bacon is cooking). Cook until edges are lightly browned (30-45 minutes) then set aside. *No need to toss in oil, because of how dish comes together. Leave dry, do not season.
  4. Once bacon is fully cooked, remove and let cool. Chop into bite-sized pieces.

  6. Add apple to pan and cook until just softened (1-2 minutes).
  7. Add cooked squash to pan, stirring to coat evenly with oils and flavors of the dish.
  8. Stir in kale, cooking until bright and tender. Add in crumbled bacon.
  9. Remove from heat and serve.
  10. Store, refrigerated, in airtight glass container for up to 5 days. Re-heat on stovetop.

    Hi Dr Jill! Just curious how you do your baked chicken- any magic touches? I’m getting ready to try the mason jars for a trip!

      Just organic free-range chicken (breasts or thighs) in olive oil, fresh herbs (garlic, chives, onion, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, etc) sea salt, top with water to nearly cover and bake 425 for 60-90 min

    Dr Carnahan

    I love all the information you provide on your site. I have been follo4ing much of the published research on the microbiome for several years now as more and more is published.

    I am though surprised and disappointed to see this recipe with bacon. While I don’t say not allowed iif a client loves it, I do try to discourage and I never recommend it but offer other substitutes such as fresh ham baked initially then eventually another choice as tastes evolve. Bacon as you know contains carcinogenic compounds when cooked at high Temps, and is high saturated fat, sodium etc. So while a small amount in a recipe may not be the “end of the “world”, and this is baked not fried, stll at 425 degrees which is high, why offer it in a recipe when we need to foster healthier choices in our recommendations.

      Hi June
      While I personally do not eat bacon I never shame those who chose to!
      warmly
