Pimp My Pasta!

So to make pasta, you boil water, its pretty much that simple, boil, add some sauce, BAM! you got dinner.  But sometimes, even that is just too much work.  Pizza (Pasta) Hut would like you to believe that their 3 pound tub o noodles is fancy restaurant quality fare.  Its just noodles, and if you are like me (lazy) the idea of not having to boil water, or do much more than click order now, well that's all the appeal I needed.  The now have a "premium" bacon mac and cheese option.  Bacon Jason and I knew this was the perfect opportunity to pimp our pasta!

Here is the "stock" Pasta Hut Delivery option, lots of bacon sprinkled on top... looks good.

But I am thinking.. "It's just on the top, and well you can see a lot of noodles"....

So we fired up some "instant bacon"  (review coming soon)

this is all the smaller "bits o' bacon" really should be, and we had to make a couple platefuls, one was NOT enough.

So we added a bunch and BOOM!

Look you can barely see the pasta, now THATS how to do Mac and Cheese.

We stirred it in, and got a great 1:1 BTB (bacon to bite) ratio.

The pasta was mediocre, not horrible, I am sure I will be lazy enough to order it again.  Just have to add more bacon.  

"Bitches better have my bacon!"

I imagine a bacon pimp would say something like that. I am sure I don't want to know what they are doing for or with the bacon... but that's just me. Speaking of pimps, last week we pimp'd our cheeseburger. For today, we are going to take a cue from the folks at pimpmytaco.com. We are not gonna dress up our taco with queso fresco or habaneros, we are the lords of bacon.... you know whats coming.

First we needed some tacos. For this I chose Jack in the Box "meat paste" 2 for 99¢ TVP tacos. They aren't on the menu like that, but buying them late at night, possibly after drinking.. they tend to get a longer name with age. I am not sure there is any actual meat in these babys but there soon will be.

First a taco:

mmmm spicy TVP

These aren't your Del Taco tacos:

now for the pimpage...

Suprise!! we are using BACON!

Only 2 strips these aren't Monster Tacos

Voila!

We have taco pimpage.

Yes it was very tasty, and I will do it again.

Pimp My Cheeseburger

There are a lot of bacon cheeseburgers out there in fast food land. Let's face it they all pretty much suck (Yes you Baconator). But they are convenient, probably why they call it 'fast food'. Well I found myself at home the other day with a Carl's Jr Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger, which by itself is pretty average at best. Having recently read and being impressed by the great stuff the kids over at pimpmycheeseburger.com are doing, I was inspired to pimp MY cheeseburger.

Here it is in 'standard' or delivered configuration:

Nothing to write home about for sure.

Now we add to that a little of the ole 'instant bacon'.. (review coming soon)

mmm bacon!

I folded the instant bacon to give a little double thick bacony layer:

now that's is a TBL (Tasty Bacon Layer)

and voila!! Pimped out cheeseburger in the house!

that's how we roll... LoB style!
