Or, finally you can get the best parts of a BLT in spreadable form without having to eat any pesky fiber parts
Baconnaise
Note: Our contest is over, but the folks at BaconSalt are running a promotion to get free Baconnaise for a year.
I was alerted to Baconnaise by a thread on the IHMMB forums and knew right then and there that I had to have some. It’s a bacon flavored spread made by the same guys that brought us Bacon Salt. Right now, it has a limited distribution in brick and mortar stores, but Amazon has a 3 pack for just under $14
I knew the jars would be here on Wednesday and my plan was to go to the grocery on Wednesday morning for buns, lettuce and tomatoes. Alas, one of my children had an ominous tummy ache that made traveling outside the house inadvisable so I asked my husband to pick up the buns from Circle K on the way home from work and I would just serve them topped with caramelized onions. Yum.
Only he forgot the buns and I had a super crazy day and forgot that I totally suck at making my own burger patties. They start off the right size but shrink down into puny, sad little pucks of beef. They are still tasty and juicy but leave a lot of empty bun space. And I was frazzled so everything was a mess and I dropped half of the oven baked fries on the floor.
My ugly but tasty baconnaise burgers with oven fries
But you know what? The baconnaise made it all worth it. It was smoky! It was rich! It was bacon-y! It was as if somebody scraped off my favorite parts of the BLT and whirred it in a blender and put it in a jar. My only complaint was that it was just a bit on the salty side, but that is easily remedied by using it sparingly. It’s not salty inedible, more like dang, should I be eating something so deliciously salty?
It was good dipped in the oven fries, although they were kind of cold by the time I got to them. Not the baconnaise’s fault. It’s a bit rich and strongly bacony for me to use as a straight dip, I’d probably cut it with something else
This morning we had a cheeseburger left over and I thought you know what? I haven’t had a fried egg topped burger in forever! So I loaded up a Wonderbread bun (all they had at the gas station) with the baconnaise, the cheeseburger, the leftover onions and a once over easy egg.

And you know what? It was delicious in a wow, I probably shouldn’t have had donuts this morning if I was going to eat this, too sort of way.
BTW, I had to take it outside to photograph because everywhere I stood my own shadow was on the burger! I really need to learn food photography!
I made Baconnaise California Rolls! They Were Yum.

sounds yummy, thanks i would love this!!
Oh~I bet this would be great on a English muffin that has been toasted with cheese!
Thanks so much for the giveaway!!
I’d use it on sandwiches or in salad dressings
I prefer Thomas English muffins, double oat, and honey. I also like my spreads on good crackers
This bacon spread would also go well with french fries or onion rings.
I believe I would try it on a bacon sandwich first and go from there. WOW!! this is really different and I am one who loves new things to try.
I grow my own heirloom tomatoes in summer and I refuse to eat any greenhouse dreck tomatoes the rest of the year so I am just counting the days till my next home grown tomato. I actually make a meal of a large bowl of sliced tomatoes, mayonaisse and hot real bacon bits. The dish would be much healthier without the bacon but that taste of bacon is important to me. It’s like a BLT in a bowl. This product sounds GREAT! Taste of bacon already in the mayo, so much easier.
I’d like to try it as a dip for a deep-fried avocado. Mm. Damn, I know what’s for dinner tonight!
I would love to make a sandwich with this with a piece of lettuce and tomato. This would really help with my COPD as when I eat alot I cannot breathe and with this I could just put some on a piece of whole wheat with some lettuce and a tomato and that would be a meal for me.
Great looking condiment!!
I’d like to try it on a BLT sandwich. Bet it would taste yummy!!
thanks
I’d use it as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.
I’dheat it in he microwave then pour it on a big bowl of popcorn!!
i can’t wait to try this!
This would go grat to make original sushi out of; maybe some california rolls, or crunchy rolls. Mmmm. Thank you so much for offering this giveaway! eyeslikesugar [at] gmail [dot] com
I would use it on a sandwich that I made for my husband…he loves bacon flavoring!
i would use on baked potato
I’d put this on BLT’S
I would spread it on some whole wheat bread and eat it as an open faced sandwitch.
on sandwiches, and french fries
I would use the baconaise in mashed potatoes.
Thanks for this great giveaway! I think i would love to try it out, by pouring some of it over baked potatoes!! Thanks again
prplrush´s last blog post..Yeah, yeah I know I have abandoned ya’ll for a couple of months
Burgers, shrimp, sausages. Basically anything except ice cream.
I would like to try it on sandwhiches – like a BLT or club. My son will probably put it on anything and everything. Thanks!
I would like it on club sandwiches!
Chrysa´s last blog post..FREE Subscription to Martha Stewart Living
I’d try it in a salad..
I would use it on french fries.
Three words– Fried Egg Sandwich….dang, I wish I had some right now!!! Then, I might try using it in place of the mayo in my restaurant style hot spinach artichoke dip!
I would use this on ham samdwiches
Oh, I would use it in potato salad, sandwiches, burgers. You name it and I would probably give it a try.
Thanks.
I think the first thing I would use it on is chicken con5459(at)gmail(dot)com
MMMMMMM. Bacon!
Awesome, Stumbled and Tweeted! I’d definitely use this for making a bacon cheeseburger, minus the mess of actually cooking the bacon myself.
Evan´s last blog post..Chicken Tortilla Casserole
My oven fried chicken would be awesome. Dry the chicken well. Coat lightly with mayo (or in this case Baconnaise), roll in crushed cornflakes and bake until done.
I would use it on steak.
i would use this on a juicy bacon,lettuce and tomato sandwich
First thing that comes to mind is for BLTs, double the bacconny flavor!

My vote is for potato skins – all twice baked potato like. Or seasoned fries. A cheeseburger. All of the above!
Wait, should I have entered all those suggestions separately for more chances to win?
I just made a bacon sandwich on home made bacon bread with baconnaise – you got my email about it. It was amazing.
Good additions to the sandwich would be – bacon cheddar, wilted lettuce using bacon grease, and a stuffed tomato using bacon in the filling, sliced, and put on the sandwich. That way you would have a bacon sandwich on bacon bread with baconnaise and bacon cheese, bacon lettuce and bacon tomato.
It has fulfilled a dream. I have lots more ideas for my bacon bread, as well as baconnaise….but I will need more baconaise….I only have one jar.
This sounds really good. I can think of all kinds of food to put it on !
great on sandwiches or a spoonful in salads!
I might use it on just about anything so I could try it. Bacon is like my favorite food group.
on burgers, of course
Omg! I love anything with bacon. I would dip fries in it, put some a baked potato, put some on a burger.
We use mayo on salmon filets, usually mixed with some seeding and diced jalapeno for a little kick. I’m not sure how salmon and bacon would co mingle but bacon makes EVERYTHING better. So I would use the baconnaise instead of plain mayo.
Mix mayo (or baconnaise) with seeded and diced jalapeno and spread on a rinsed and dried salmon filet. Bake at 400 for determined amount of time for size of your salmon. Devour.
I bet this would taste fantastic in my homemade potato salad!
