Want to know more? I have the ingredients and instructions below. It goes over so well, I considered naming my bacon crust “Funky Cold Medina” because it is one crispy and delicious aphrodisiac. Ladies, if you’re ever looking to get “oohs” and “ahhs” over the stuff you make from your significant other, take my word for it – bacon weaved like a basket will get the job done. A few weeks ago I made some bacon bowls using a muffin tin, so I thought I’d try creating a bacon base on a larger scale. How can I make mac-n-cheese more manly? ADD BACON OF COURSE!!! But not just any bacon. While walking through Wal-Mart it hit me. mac-n-cheese is a good start, but I wanted more. I knew if I was targeting the less-fair of the sexes, it would have to scream “I’m a manly man’s dish” in order to get them past the whole “45 calorie” thing. “It leaves a bad after taste”, “It tastes like plastic”, “It doesn’t have the same consistency”, “I feel like I’m eating cardboard” are just a few of those excuses. They like to shout out all sorts of reasons why they don’t want that stuff, too. They love to eat healthy, they just don’t want me using reduced calorie/fat/sugar ingredients to make it. The men in my life are so picky when it comes to eating healthy. I had a specific target for my creation – men. When I was planning what to make with the cheese, I immediately thought mac-and-cheese. Fewer calories, superb taste and exceptional melting abilities make this cheese a must have. Sargento may have skimped on the the calories, but that’s all they skimped on. Plus (this is where the genius part comes in), the slices still have all of the flavor and cooking properties of the higher calorie brands. That’s right – 45 SCANT CALORIES PER SLICE! The calories in 3 slices of Sargento’s Ultra Thin cheeses is less than the calories in ONE slice of a normal slice of cheese. They offer a TON of varieties, all under 45 calories per slice. Sargento Ultra Thin cheese is so wonderful you will weep with appreciation of their genius-ness. I’ll give you a brief synopsis of why Sargento hit a home run with this product and then I’ll get to the real reason why you are reading this: THE FANTABULOUS RECIPE THAT HAS BOTH CHEESE AND BACON IN IT! (Queue the powerful voice announcer with the accompanying echo). One bite told me I got the better end of the deal. They gave me vouchers to get the cheese free of charge, and all I had to do was make stuff out of it, eat it and share my knowledge (and recipes) on it. As a member of Influenster, I was more than happy to volunteer to help Sargento cheese introduce their delicious product, Ultra Thin Cheese Slices. The best part is that you get their product free of charge. You help them by giving honest reviews and posting your experience on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pintrest, etc. One of the perks of being a foodie is there are often companies out there wanting folks who are willing to try out their products. But to answer the question, it was Sargento who cut the cheese in a big, big way. People will be BEGGING you to cut the cheese when they hear this recipe. Don’t let the title of this blog post fool you.
