5 Ways to Love Bacon Beyond Breakfast

September 5th is International Bacon Day. If you know anything about Red Barn Market, you’ll know we take this holiday seriously! To celebrate, we’ve rounded up a list of recipes that prove bacon has range: creamy, crispy, sweet, savoury, and every combination in between. Beyond-breakfast bacon, if you will.

Creamy Asparagus Bacon Gnocchi (Delish.com)
As the weather starts to cool, this is exactly the kind of dish we’re craving: pillowy gnocchi, crisp bacon, and a rich, creamy sauce that hits all the comfort-food notes.

Bacon-Wrapped Dates (The Kitchn)
This simple but delicious recipe calls for only three ingredients: dates, cheese, and (of course) bacon. Sweet, salty, and impossibly easy, this is exactly the kind of app that disappears in minutes.

Bourbon Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls (Cambrea Bakes)
Sweet, savoury, rich, smoky, fluffy, crispy — this recipe has it all. Is your mouth watering yet?

Bacon and Cheese Croquettes (Fervent Mama)
Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside — these little bites are pure poppable comfort. They fry well straight from frozen, too, so make a batch ahead and pull them out whenever the craving hits.

Maple Bacon and Thyme Brussels Sprouts (Red Barn’s Recipes by Liv)
It won’t be long until local brussels sprouts hit our produce shelves, and this recipe is an excellent way to put them to use. This one’s sweet, smoky, and starring our Double Smoked Maple Bacon, developed by one of Red Barn’s own team members, Liv!
