How to make your own pastrami bacon.

pastrami bacon - main (c)thejoyofeatingwell

It seems like bacon comes in all forms these days from meatless bacon, beef bacon, uncured beef bacon, turkey bacon, uncured turkey bacon and bacon bacon.  Well, add one more to the plate, my friends. Pastrami bacon is a game-changer and you can make it yourself!

There is one small caveat. I have not found much success from buying pre-packaged pastrami from the refrigerated section at the grocery store. From what I can tell, there must be an ingredient that keeps it from crisping up. However, if you add enough butter or olive oil to the pan, they will crisp up fine enough!

The game-changer comes from buying good quality pastrami from the deli. Have them slice it reallllly thin, not shaved, but really thin. There’s a fine line between the two, so have them show you.

Making pastrami bacon is simple. I prefer a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and adding a touch of olive oil. Keep flipping until you get your desired crispiness and let them rest on a paper towel for a few minutes before enjoying.

Pastrami bacon is excellent and delicious as a crunchy treat by itself, added to your breakfast plate, or used in any manner that you would normally use bacon. 

Silly me, thinking I have to give you instructions on how to eat bacon.

Silly silly me.

Have you ever tried pastrami bacon or any of the other “alternative bacons?” 

Happy bacon day!

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
