HICKORY BACON MUSTARD

 I love bacon. I guess it is no secret. When I see a product that may have any association with the wonderful cured, smoked, strips of pork, I am a sucker. ‘Beaver Brand’ mustard has a ‘Hickory Bacon Mustard’ flavor that beckoned my acquisition. Once this plastic squeeze bottle of mustard was in my possession a closer inspection was needed. The label had some fine print which read; “Rich Bacon Flavor”. The ingredient list was long and actually had bacon listed as an ingredient. After wiping the drool off my beard, I popped the top. A nice mustard aroma with a faint bacon smell wafted into my senses. Red chili and red bell pepper flakes mixed throughout this dark yellow mix make for an attractive sauce. How does it taste?

Straight out of the bottle the Hickory flavor is prevalent. The mustard is on the sweet side and yes I can actually taste bacon. What better way to test bacon mustard but with a hot dog. Not just any hot dog. This hot dog will be a bacon hot dog from 4505 Meats. The bacon dog and ‘Acme’ roll was kissed by a mesquite charcoal fire. Some onions, tomatos and our bacon mustard were assembled with our dogs and rolls. This was one bacon tasty hot dog. I am in love with ‘Beaver Brand Hickory Bacon Mustard. This will be a staple in our pantry from now on.
