Recipe Repost: Because it's that good!
Winning Recipes
I created this recipe for my first World Food Championships contest entry and published it at At Home with Rebecka on March 11, 2015. I didn't win a Golden Ticket for the Dessert category however, God had other plans for my food-contesting journey. I went on to win Golden Tickets in two other categories that year in Seafood, and Bacon. I chose to enter the Bacon Category and won the title of Bacon World Champion in 2017. I've been creating one-of-a-kind recipes and competing in the Bacon Category at the World Food Championships ever since.
