Bacon is surging in popularity.

It’s kind of a crazy phenomenon right now, but I’m riding this wave, man!

So it’s only natural that some interesting bacon-related recipes might be coming to light. And this one’s a doozy.

Maybe you cringed at Elvis’ peanut butter and banana sandwiches, but will you feel the same way about a peanut butter and bacon sandwich?

Think about it. There are so many flavors to like here. Why not put them all together?

And, truly, anything with bacon in it is just taken to the next level of awesomeness in my opinion.

So if you’re bold enough to try this new flavor sensation, click here to read a killer peanut butter and bacon recipe.

Let me know what you think. I’ll still like ya if it’s not your cup of tea. And you can always just pull out the bacon and chow down on it alone. No harm, no foul!

So, I’m not a chef. Far from it. I’m just a regular Joe (okay, Joanne) who loves beef and wants to keep it interesting in the kitchen.

I know there are things I should know. . . but don’t.

For instance, I only recently learned that I should soak my wooden skewers before cooking with them on the grill. For kebobs and the like.

Huh. That seems so elementary. But somehow I had missed that lesson.

What do you have a question about when you’re cooking a tantalizing steak or roast or beef tips?

Here’s a nifty little place where you can ask a real-live chef your burning questions about beef. Get it? Burning?

I’ve done that a time or two.

Just click on the “Ask the Chef” box to the right on this web page and submit your question(s).

It’s that simple!

Have fun perfecting your beef techniques with a chef’s advice! And the best part? It’s free!
