Bacon is one of my favorite foods, in my home my kids have grown up thinking its one of the basic food groups! In fact one of there all time favorite meals for dinner is an all American BLT! Bacon in our home is a food group all by itself!

So it was no big surprise that I would have to try a seasoning whose motto is “Everything Should Taste like Bacon!” Of course I’m talking about a seasoning known as “Bacon Salt”.
Bacon Salt is the brain child of Justin and Dave who love grilling, hanging out with family and friends and of course eating there favorite food bacon! (my kind of people!)

While on a business trip Justin and Dave were sitting down for dinner and eventually, the conversation turned to their favorite food bacon. It was then that Justin told Dave and another coworker named Kara about his idea for Bacon Salt. Kara, who is a vegetarian, loved the idea. Dave, a card-carrying carnivore and Midwesterner, loved it even more. Even the waiter at the fancy restaurant they were eating at loved the idea. And so the quest began to find the ingredients that would be needed to create Bacon Salt.

The reality of the creation and marketing of Bacon Salt was made even clearer when Dave’s young son Dean provided the first round of their financing with a wining $5,000 video on America’s Funniest Home Videos! The creation of the first Bacon Salts: Original, Hickory and Peppered were introduced to family and friends so the tasting and refining could begin. Some of these testing parties are documented on their site and blog showing people eating their favorite’s foods with the addition of Bacon Salt, from vegetables to the unthinkable ice cream, Bacon Salt was put to the test.

So with hearing the story, reading the reviews and watching the videos I decided being the bacon loving coinsure that I am, I had to try this stuff! I made contact with Justin and a couple of days later I had in my position the three created blends. So my next quest, what to use them on?

I wanted to test Bacon Salt on foods others hadn’t yet reviewed it on. This wasn’t an easy task having seen the Bacon Salt Blog and the reviews posted of all the foods it’s been used on. In the end, my family and I decided to test Bacon Salt on Twice Baked Potatoes, Bossman Smoked Meatloaf and Hog Apple Beans. With that said, here are the results:

Twice Baked Potatoes with Original Bacon Salt

Smoked Meat Loaf with Hickory Bacon Salt

Smoked Hog Apple Beans with Hickory Bacon Salt

The results my family and I experienced can be summarized in one word: WOW!! Bacon Salt was such a big hit in my home that I had to contact Justin and let him know that his product is out of this world. When I related my experience you could almost feel Justin smile on the other side of the phone when he explained that my experience is just one of the many they receive on a daily basis from fans from all over the nation.

I know from my experience that my family and I were smiling and enjoying this new found ingredient that will go along way in adding bacon flavor to all BBQ contest foods and other dishes we love. I think the fun part of this review was thinking of all the foods we wanted to test it on and see how it tastes. We haven’t tried it on Ice Cream, and seriously doubt that I will, but I do know that if you try this I believe you will have a smile on your face just as my family and I have experienced!

Go to Baconsalt.com or call Justin and tell him The Bossman sent you calling for some “Bacon Salt” and I’m sure he will point you in the right direction to find it in your local community or have it shipped directly to your front door step! Smoke On!
