Add "Wow" to Breakfast and Beyond

(Family Features) - When it comes to foods that spark passion, very few rival the emotional and mouthwatering response triggered by big, bold, flavorful strips of bacon. To help Americans express their love of bacon at the breakfast table in new and unique ways, Wright Brand Bacon has teamed up with Food Network host Aaron McCargo Jr. to serve up tantalizing tips for adding bigger, better bacon sizzle to favorite breakfast dishes. 

"On the weekends, nothing is better than waking up to the smell of a freshly cooked breakfast, especially when bacon is involved," said McCargo. "Cooking with Wright Brand Bacon is my secret weapon to get the kids out of bed in the morning! It adds excitement, bold flavor and crispy texture to breakfast dishes and starts the day out deliciously."

To help add bacon wow to your breakfast and beyond, Aaron McCargo Jr. suggests the following tips:

  • Mix It In: Add bacon to main breakfast fair in unique and unexpected ways. One of my favorites is Bacon Pancakes. Add large pieces of think-cut bacon to your pancake batter along with your favorite berries or chocolate chips. The unexpected crunchy texture and salty taste of bacon complement the fluffy and sweet pancakes perfectly!  
  • Bacon to Go: If your breakfast bunch is on the go, try my bacon, egg and cheese pitas. Scramble eggs, stuff into a pita and top with cheese and bacon. Wrap it in foil and you're ready to roll.
