Bacon....with salad dressing...minus the veggies. (Vanity)

I had another posting regarding using salad dressings to cook with, this is kind of a follow up, but with more detail.....and not for the weak of heart.

My buddies came across something on the web about bacon cereal.

This guy fried up his bacon, chopped it up and put it in a bowl (like it was cereal) and then added blue cheese (like it was milk).

Naturally, under the theory that everything is better with bacon, we decided to come up with something similar.

We would do the same thing, but instead of blue cheese, add bacon flavored ranch dressing (one of us wants to use creamy style italian dressing).

The question we were kind of wondering was would the heat of the bacon turn the ranch dressing bad or toxic or make you sick, and also, could this be placed into the fridge and then reheated via microwave at a later date to eat again?

One friend had the idea of marinating the bacon in regular italian style salad dressing over night, and then cooking it the next morning, chopping it up and adding creamy style italian dressing to it, the question was is this possible without getting sick, and could it, if not finished, be placed back in the fridge and reheated later on?

I know this is like instant heart attack, but it sounds real good, and worth trying, but I'd love to get some feedback on if this is doable, and/or if anyone has tried it, or has any suggestions on it?

I really do appreciate any advice, feedback and help on this, my theory of everything being better with bacon......along with everything being better if its fried are proving to be good so far, but I don't want to wade into toxic categories if say the dressing turns bad or something.

Sounds almost as good as frying a bunch of tofu in bacon fat, then crumbling up bacon on top. Set that on top of a pork chop, and smother the whole thing with red eye gravy made from bacon grease.

Man, this thread has a frat-house vibe.

You can make a rich, really wicked dip with bacon, shredded cheese, sour cream, and ranch dressing powder. I have made it for parties and it always gets gobbled pretty quickly.

I watched a new episode of Dinner:Impossible where Iron Chef Simon made chocolate covered bacon.

My son made, get this, bacon ice cream.

It was surprisingly good I am ashamed to admit.

A bowl of bacon smothered in blue cheese? Fantastic.

Bacon infused vodka? I am intrigued.

You may have to weigh-in on this.

[Grizzled Bear]

It involved putting several strips of cooked bacon in a mason jar filled with vodka. After resting for several weeks you remove the bacon and place the jar in the freezer, to separate the oils. Then you filter through cheese cloth and enjoy the great bacony taste!

Tofu is the devil.

But everything else sounds kind of interesting.

This sounds really good.

You have a recipe for it, and also, can the cheese be Mozzarella?

My son made, get this, bacon ice cream.

Please, please, tell me how, this would be a hit with me and the rest of my guys.

It almost sounds to good to be true.
