Everyone loves bacon, so I’ve devised a way to make it the star of the meal. I mean, what could be better than a thick slice of crispy belly bacon in a buttered bun? Topped with a vinegar-y slaw to compliment the rich meat, it’s a perfect sandwich. And if you don’t feel like frying the bacon yourself, try one at Andrew Zimmern’s Canteen at Target Field (located next to Hrbek’s on the main concourse behind home plate).
Portion the bacon into 6 equal strips, roughly 5 ounces a piece.
Cook the bacon in a cast-iron frying pan over medium heat until crispy, about 10 minutes per side, making sure the fat is rendered.
