If you want to take a great recipe and make it better, just wrap it in bacon!
Last summer my garden was producing more jalapenos than I knew what to do with. Jalapeno poppers filled with creamy cheese and wrapped in smoky bacon quickly became a family favorite. Who knew there are so many delicious ways to take bacon to the next level. Bacon-wrapped cinnamon rolls? You better believe that is happening in the morning!
This list includes 25 recipes all wrapped in bacon, everything from veggies, meats, fruits, even mac & cheese. Is there anything you CAN'T wrap in bacon?

While this may not be an exhaustive list of all the things you can wrap in bacon, I've yet to find a flavor combo that doesn't work. People have recently been going crazy for peanut butter and bacon burgers. I haven't tried them... yet... but I don't see why it wouldn't work!
