So, you have family and friends coming over for the holidays and you want to do something a little different?
How about a bacon bar?
You know you want one. The possibilities are endless with both sweet and savory dishes.
I’m going to show you a few simple ideas here, thanks to Smithfield, including egg and bacon breakfast tacos, bacon Bloody Mary’s, biscuits with cherry bacon jam, and maple bacon donuts. But, if you scroll all the way to the bottom, I’ve got a list of other ideas that you can use for your own bacon bar too.
Bacon bar buffet
Let’s start with an egg and bacon serve-yourself taco bar, shall we? I mean tacos AND bacon, need I say more?
Bacon and Egg Breakfast Taco
Crispy bacon, your favorite scrambled or fried eggs, and potatoes cooked in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of bacon fat are the perfect staple ingredients for your taco bar.
Set up a small portable camp stove and guests can warm their own corn tortillas.
Don’t forget condiments such as fresh cilantro, lime wedges, homemade tomato, and onion salsa, and whisk a couple of teaspoons of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce into 1/3 cup of sour cream to make a tasty sauce to drizzle over the top.
Biscuits With Cherry Bacon Jam
How about cherry bacon jam served with warm biscuits? These are amazing and the cherry bacon jam is a new favorite condiment. You can find the recipe over at Smithfield for this.
And it wouldn’t be a bacon bar if there weren’t bacon donuts too.
Mini maple bacon donuts
These mini maple bacon donuts are the perfect addition to your bacon bar. You’ll find my recipe for Mini Maple Bacon Donuts here.
To top off your bacon bar, I think we need a cocktail to serve alongside tea, coffee, and juice.
Bacon Bloody Mary recipe
A Bacon Bloody Mary is a perfect choice and the mix can be made a day before and refrigerated.

My favorite recipe from their site is the bacon cheddar biscuits
My favorite recipe overall are these “cinnamon rolls” we make that uses bacon and cheese in place of the cinnamon and sugar.
The Caramelized Bourbon Bacon looks amazing!

Where did you find that portable tortilla warmer, that is so cute. I would love to get one.
I found all of it at Walmart – the small green gas tanks and portable camp stove can be found in the camping section. I found the hurricane candle holder in the candle section – just make sure the green gas tank fits inside.
