More improvements on an existing theme, but these seemed to have been received with rave reviews:
Cut bacon into 1" squares, cook, and fill the entire bottom of a baking pan with them, two layers deep, using the recovered grease to coat said pan with prior.
cover with your favorite corn bread batter.
grate cheese over the top (I recommend smoked/aged asiago, or similar).
bake.
cut into serving sized squares/wedges
top with a pat of butter, and a mixture of 5oz. grade B (very important! Get this at a hippy grocery store) true maple syrup, 1 oz. bourbon, and a half teaspoon of powdered chipotle pepper.
enjoy foodgasm.
pesto?
again, using your favorite base recipe, substitute/add pistachios for pine nuts.
Add strips of cooked bacon to food processor/mixture to taste.
substitute 1/2 total volume of olive oil with reclaimed bacon grease.
Add sun dried tomatoes, if you like, we did and it was awesome.
moderate smoky/salty notes with liberal application of lemon/lime juice and more fresh basil as necessary.
eat on pasta, crackers, or straight from a spoon.
die happy.
