My housemate has been waiting for me to make this recipe since I moved in. It's been, uh, two years... so sorry for the slight delay. I off-handedly mentioned the idea of sheet pan sliders in a random conversation with James' friend Mike a couple of years back, when I first visited his place to...

Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Beer Bratwurst

This post is sponsored by Smithfield, who noticed my ongoing brat-obsession and decided to help make these bacony bratwursts possible.

Once you’ve had Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Beer Bratwurst you can...

5 Ingredient Cheddar Bacon Horseradish Dip

I'd say that right around the time that someone literally lifts the entire bowl of dip from the buffet area and sneaks it over to their own table, it becomes acceptable to pat yourself on the back for making a damn good recipe. Or at least that's what I told myself as I eyed my 5 Ingredient...

Slow Cooker Sticky Bacon & Whiskey Meatballs

When I was reading my list of upcoming recipes aloud for James, he stopped me at this one. "That sounds like a great snack for poker night with the guys," he hinted.
