As always, I used Jones Dairy Farm bacon in this dressing. I first tried it last fall and it's so good that I can't bring myself to buy any other brand: it's thick-cut with the perfect balance of smoke and salt. My little brothers now refer to it as "that really good bacon." It can be a little tricky to find, but Jones luckily has a really great product locator on their site that will guide you in the right direction.
