CRACKER BARREL STEWED APPLES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
• Start with the bacon weave.
• To make the weave, lay out eight strips of bacon vertically on a piece of foil or plastic wrap.
• Then, fold over every other vertical piece of bacon in the middle. Next, place a strip horizontally across the vertical bacon.
• Then, unfold the folded strips and fold back the alternate row of bacon that you previously left flat. Place the next piece of bacon across the vertical strips directly adjacent to the first horizontal piece. Repeat this process two more times.
• Once you finish the first half, repeat with the other half.
• Season the top of the bacon with a little salt and pepper.
• Now it is time to prepare the turkey breast. You can do this with a bone-in turkey breast, but it will take a lot more bacon. I prefer the ease of a boneless turkey breast. If your turkey breast was packaged with a net around it, make sure to cut the net off and dispose of it. There really won't be a need for the net as the sweet bacon weave will take its place. Once you have the turkey breast unwrapped and de-netted, season with a little salt and pepper. Then, wrap in the bacon. The foil/plastic wrap that you assembled your weave on will help you encase the turkey with the bacon.
• Once you have the turkey wrapped, place it on a rack on foil lined sheet pan.
• Insert a probe thermometer and then place into the oven. Cook until the internal temperature of the turkey breast is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This took about 1 hour and 45 minutes for my 2.5 lb turkey breast. This time will vary based on the size of your breast. As always, make sure to cook based on temperature and not on time.
• Once the breast has come to temperature, remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
• Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• Cut bacon into small pieces then cook until crisp in a large saucepan.
• Add beans then add enough broth or water to cover the beans by a little less than an inch of liquid (you may not need all 4 cups).
• Cook over medium heat until just boiling then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer beans for 30 minutes.
• Add 1/2 teaspoon salt then continue cooking for 30 minutes or until beans are very tender (sometimes frozen beans take longer to get tender).
• Taste for salt then add more if desired.
• Turn off heat, uncover pan, then let beans rest for 15 minutes before serving.
