Sounds good? That’s because it is! This smoky flavoured stuff goes great with pretty much any barbecued meat, with cheese, on top of fried eggs, you name it! It’s the perfect topping for a good homemade cheeseburger. After all, bacon makes everything better! 😜
The amounts on this recipe make one jam jar of bacon relish.
