Bacon

My friend came to my MOPS group and got me interested in using pork a little more. I am not the biggest meat eater in the world, but bacon is something that could really add a little flavor to some of my favorite vegetarian dishes. I actually made up a recipe that tastes fantastic. My friend even came over and approved it. Here it is:

RED PEPPER AND BACON PITA SENSATION
Ingredients:
1 pkg. whole wheat pita bread
I pkg shredded mozzarella cheese
1 roasted red pepper ( How to roast a pepper: wash the pepper, stick it in the oven whole, bake at 350 degrees until the pepper is a little charred looking, take pepper out and stick in a plastic bag, loosely tie it and leave it for 15 minutes, take it out and the skin will slide right off, quarter it, take seeds out, and dice)
1 small jar of your favorite salsa
2 stems of green onion, sliced
8-12 slices of cooked bacon

Directions:
Spread salsa in the bottom of each pita, sprinkle cheese, and stuff it full of the rest of ingredients. Bake in oven at 350 degrees until cheese is melted (10 - 15 minutes)

I thought these would be easy to prepare ahead of time if you have company coming. You can just pop them in the oven 10 - 15 minutes before you want to eat.

I have never really posted a recipe I made up, but any positive or negative feedback is welcome.

This sounds like a winner! You should post that red pepper/mozarella salsa too.
