This sounds great but what is liquid smoke??

[starshipminivan]

It is found in the spice section of the grocery store. It is made with the same process of smoking meats. However, the water vapor and smoke are chilled until it becomes a smokey liquid which can be used to impart the smoke flavor from the wood. You can get it in hickory, mesquite, applewood, etc.. These can be made without it but the liquid smoke helps create a stronger smokey flavor than the bacon alone can add.

Made this tonight for my family and everyone loved it, even my picky little sister who we can never get to try new things. I used a little more bacon bits and cheese and subbed half the mustard for spice brown mustard. It was a real hit and I'll probably make this again.

I'm glad it worked well. More bacon makes everything better!
