Chickenfried Canadian Bacon





Another campfire breakfast at the little lake. 


Lighting a few logs in the tractor rim...


First, I made some biscuit dough and put a skillet of hash browns on the fire to fry...




I covered the biscuits to catch some heat. They rise under the lid and when the bottoms brown, I just turn them over...They take about 20 minutes but I keep an eye on em.



I brought some of my cold smoked Canadian bacon with me...


sliced about 1/4" thick...



gave the bacon the flour, egg/milk wash, then back into the flour and seasoned with cracked black pepper...


the bacon ready to fry...






I fry them over high heat, then remove them from the skillet to catch some smoke and keep warm on the low heat side of the fire..




made gravy with the skillet drippin's and started a skillet of butter for the eggs...






That's pretty much it. Breakfast!





I split one biscuit open and covered the bottom half with gravy...




added fruit to the plate to make the meal look healthy...





The chickenfried Canadian bacon is crisp on the outside and so moist and tender in the middle..
One of the reasons I love cold smoking bacon, you have so many options on how you want to cook it later.






This was one of those "stick to your ribs" breakfasts that had to last all day.

The camping was great and the fishing was OK. I didn't get skunked anyway. :)

The weather has started to heat up here. Not as bad as in some locations of the US. Hope those in flood areas stay safe.
Have a great weekend everybody!

As a Canadian, I just had to come and check out this post. We rarely chicken-fry anything in the Great White North and certainly not our beloved back bacon. We just fry it nekkid (the bacon, not us). But I must admit, it looks tasty done your way!

Thanks Debra! This isn't Canadian Peameal back bacon, (I don't chickenfry that either.) This is the American version of Canadian bacon that is smoked. They are two different bacons. :)

I love Canadian (peameal) bacon, rolled in either peameal or cornmeal, then skillet fried.

This cold smoked American version of Canadian bacon gets hot smoked, grilled, fried, chickenfried, just about anything. It's versatile stuff. lol
Thanks for stopping by! :)
