Discovering the Breakfast & Bacon Box
From the farm to your table, our Breakfast & Bacon Box is the ultimate treat for every pork lover. This delightful collection features an impressive 4 lbs of bacon, including jowl bacon, bacon ends, bone-in ham, four succulent chops, ribeye steak, ground pork, and flavorful brats.
Cooking Tips for Perfect Pork
To get the most out of your pork products, here are three essential cooking tips that will elevate your dishes:
Proper Sear: Achieving a proper sear on your pork cuts enhances flavor and creates a beautiful crust. Heat your pan nicely before introducing the meat, and avoid overcrowding to allow even browning.
Resting Time: Allow your cooked pork to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This technique lets the juices redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
Low-Heat Finish: For thicker cuts, like ribeye or pork chops, consider finishing them on low heat. This method ensures the inside cooks thoroughly without over-browning the outside.
Simple and Delicious Recipes
With your Breakfast & Bacon Box in hand, here are two easy-to-follow recipes that will both impress and satisfy your taste buds:
Brown Sugar Maple Glazed Bone-In Ham
Ingredients:
- 1 bone-in ham
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a bowl, combine brown sugar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and cinnamon.
3. Score the surface of the ham and apply the glaze all over.
4. Place the ham in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Bake for about 1.5 hours, removing the foil for the last 30 minutes to caramelize the glaze. Serve warm.
Crispy Pork Chop Skillet with Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 4 pork chops
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups potatoes

2. Meanwhile, peel and boil potatoes until tender. Drain, mash with milk and butter, and season with salt.
3. Serve crispy pork chops on a bed of mashed potatoes, drizzling any remaining skillet juices over the top.
