NEW TO BBB THIS YEAR - The Bacon Challenge!!!!
You could win an opportunity to meet and or cook with Danielle at Big Bacon Bonanza by entering....The Bacon Challenge! To enter is simple: make something amazing that involves bacon. We know, bacon is already pretty amazing on its own - therein lies the challenge! Dress it up, build with it, and get creative with your porcine bounty. The challenge is to make something both original and bacon-related. If it's about bacon, it's eligible. Danielle will evaluate the recipes and choose two winners: one adult and one youth (17and under). Both will have an opportunity to meet her and help with the cooking demonstration of the winning bacon creation.

Submit a Step by Step recipe that demonstrates your creativity, skill, and facility with bacon. Be sure to document your project with lots of great photos and provide plenty of details so that others may enjoy the savory fruits of your labor.
