I don’t think it’s any secret that we are a bacon loving family. Of course we enjoy bacon as a side with our breakfast, I find that I am constantly using bacon in my dinner recipes. There is just something about that delicious taste that we can’t get enough of here at my house!
Of course when you combine the great tastes of pizza and bacon that’s when my guys are happiest! So you can imagine when I served up this Bacon Wrapped Pizza, my guys about flipped! Yes, it tastes as good as it sounds and it’s super easy to make. You only need a few ingredients and you can put this together for your family pizza night!
With the great taste of the new Jimmy Dean Bacon, you’ll have a meal that will have your family rushing to the table.
The Jimmy Dean brand is expanding and now offering fresh premium bacon. Pick up a thicker cut bacon that delivers the great taste and consistent quality that you have come to expect from the Jimmy Dean brand. You can now find the bacon at Publix in two tasty varieties –
- Hickory Smoked
- Applewood Smoked
Father’s Day is this weekend and this would be a fantastic recipe for the guys. I don’t know too many dads who would pass this one up. This restaurant inspired deep dish pizza has Jimmy Dean bacon wrapped around the edges and is baked to bubbly perfection. The crumbled bacon and melted mozzarella cheese paired well with basil and garlic tomato sauce in this deep dish wonder. The best part is that it comes together in a flash. Just grab a few ingredients at Publix and treat your favorite guy to a tasty treat!
- 1 (1 lb.) package Jimmy Dean Bacon
- 1 (13.8 ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust
- ½ cup sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Preheat oven at 425°F.
- Line the outside of a 13”x 9”x 1” quarter sheet baking pan with 5 slices of bacon, overlapping.
- Unroll the pizza crust into the center of the pan and spread to touch the bacon.
- Top with sauce and cheese and place into the oven for 15 minutes.
- While the pizza is cooking, slice the remaining bacon into small pieces and cook in a large skillet for 10 minutes over medium-high heat.
- Drain the bacon on a paper towel lined plate and spread on top of the pizza.
- Continue to cook for 10-15 minutes or until the bottom of the pizza is golden brown and the bacon strips are crisp.

I used to enjoy just sitting on his back porch with him.
We used to go crabbing at the crack of dawn at the Jersey shore.
Apple picking was always a fun time
Dad and I love to go fishing together.
Air guitar duets 🙂
Eating out. My dad loved to go out for a fresh hamburger — even more than a steak! (And thanks for the recipe — can’t wait to try it!!)
Just an afternoon of talking
My boys love to watch sports with Dad and play catch.
my dad at his worst was better than most people at their best … I enjoyed doing anything and nothing at all with him
I enjoy just sitting down with him, letting him talk about anything.
My Dad is gone now, but we used to go mushroom hunting together(elephant ear mushrooms)…always loved the time spent together, and eating the mushrooms my mom would cook afterwards!
I just enjoyed being with him, and I miss him.
Growing up, my dad would always take me to the bookstore, and this is one of my best memories with him. Both of us still really love reading today!
I really enjoy doing projects (house projects, or really anything) with my dad.
This is my first father’s day without my dad so it’s going to be tough. I would love to just be able to pick up the phone and call him.
My Dad loved to go to his favorite restaurant for all-you-can-eat fish & chips.
I don’t have any dad rituals but I do love laughing and joking with my uncle.
I love going fishing with my Dad..
eating at our favorite restaurant
enjoy talking about the old days and looking at pitcures
I really enjoyed being my fathers fishing buddy growing up. He needed someone to help him when he went out on the boat to hold the bow line at the dock, thank goodness-otherwise he may not have taken us for all the complaining! It was so important to me that this is something that I share with my kids.
In a time where all the electronics are taking over, this is especially important one-on-one time!
we always had a huge cook out every Father’s Day and although it was supposed to be his day he would insist on smoking a roast and chicken. We always had a wonderful time. He is with Jesus in Heaven now and I miss him every day but I am thankful for the many days I did have with him.
Just speeding time together on the lake.
He was my softball coach when I was a kid, so playing baseball/softball with him was my favorite thing to do.
I enjoyed going out to dinner with my dad. He was single and loved having the company to eat and talk with.
My dad worked a lot so any time we were able to go fishing, build a birdhouse or feed the farm animals together I always enjoyed. As he is older now I like listening to him talk about when he was younger and his favorite memories of mine and my brother’s childhood.
walking in the rain
Playing Cribbage–funnest game ever! We often play for hours on end. We are both very competitive–in a good way of course! 😀
I’m lucky that my 80 year old father lives close by so we can have little visits throughout the week. Our Sunday visits though are a favorite as my dad and I swap coupons from our Sunday newspapers and compare the deals that we are planning to get – sometimes it becomes a bit of a saving competition.
We love board games and eating!
My dad passed away when I was 19. Father’s Day is always hard. When I was little I use to love helping him with projects around the house and watching cooking shows with him.
My favorite things to do with my dad are arrowhead hunting and morel mushroom hunting.
I just love hanging out with my dad – he always makes me laugh and tells the funniest stories.
When I was a kid, I enjoyed flying kites with my dad on the beach near our home.
My dad will be 83 this year. He drives me crazy but I love him to death. I enjoying going to spend the day with him at the family farm house.
My dad passed away almost 15 years ago. I have so many wonderful memories with him, but my favorite thing to do was to read the same book and then discuss it. We both shared the passion of reading!
I love just sitting back and watching him with my son. The two of them together just tugs my heartstrings. Watching my dad pass on some of the knowledge he has acquired over the years to my little guy is priceless.
I love going to Publix with my dad! Ha! He moved to Colorado a couple of years ago and always wants to go get a pub sub everytime he visits! It’s something I have come to love when he comes and visits!
I always loved eating graham crackers and milk with my dad after he got home from work…at Publix!
I like to take my Dad out….Thursday is our day. I take him out for lunch, then we go grocery shopping at Publix. My Dad is an amputee and doesn’t get out much, so as petty as that sounds, it’s great for him.
I really enjoyed going fishing with my dad so we could have memories before he died.
Family Dinners with dad at the head of the table. We sit and talk for a long time after the meal is finished.
Our weekly lunch dates!

Still!
Mostly, he passed onto me his great love of nature.
Camping, fishing, and hiking!
I enjoyed fishing with my dad.
When I was little I was Dad’s little helper. I have to believe I was always his favorite because if this. Even older we would work together and help each other out. Wish he was still here to help me. Fathers Day is still hard 9 years later! Miss you Dad.
I enjoy doing many things with my dad, but I most enjoy talking with him about all of his woodworking, painting, and other various projects he does. His mind works in such a different way than mine does, so I love learning about these things from him.
Watching old movies!
Long conversations with him.
My dad is no longer with me, I lost him when I was 15. He has been gone now for 28 years. I miss him and try to remember all the silly things he used to do to make me laugh.

Hitting mom pop joints !!
Wow, my memories is going to a creek which happened before I was 5 🙂

Discussing news and current events.
My dad was a finance and accounting consultant.
Thankfully, I heeded his great advise for saving, retiring, stocks, bonds, money management..investments to be able to retire early and comfortably.
I learned the difference between needs and wants. Thinking towards the future.
Living fragile now the be rewarded later.
Not rich. Satisfied and only a few years to go!
Lol. Living fugal!
I lost my Dad to an industrial accident when I was only 10. That was 44 years ago. I have very vivid memories. One in particular was he had a horse with a small carriage. The horse was spooked while we were out for a ride. What a wild ride that ended in us plowing through the neighbors flowers. We were none the worse for the wear 🙂
My dad and I used to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation together. It was the one show that we both really enjoyed.
When I was little we would watch The Incredble Hulk together, oh and Star Trek and Doctor Who. I was terrified of the daleks but he would wrap me up and keep me safe. He died many moons ago, whilst he was still so young and vibrant. I miss my daddy.
One of my favorite things to do with my dad was listening to music together.
Our Dad will be 101 years old in August, and my favorite thing to do when we are together is to listen to his old stories. He is my father-in-law, and the sweetest, most gentle man ever. My husband calls his Dad EVERY DAY, just to say hello & to hear his voice. My husband will be 74 soon & still has his Dad! Isn’t that amazing!!!! 🙂

My dad passed away several years ago, but I enjoyed helping him prep vegetables for Mother to freeze. We enjoyed talking while we shucked and silked corn or shelled peas in the basement.

I watch classic shows that my dad grew up watching with him. The shows are The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock.
Just spending time with him when I visit. Go for a walk with the dogs, a drive in the mountains where he lives, going out to breakfast at the diner.

This is going to sound NUTS, but I love going to the scrapyard with my dad. To this day (and I’m 35!), if he’s going to haul something to the scrapyard, I want to go with him! May have something to do with the fact we always stop at the gas station when we’re done and get a drink and a snack!
One of my favorite things to do with my dad would be when I was a little girl I would go to breakfast with him every Saturday morning. Sometimes he would take me and my sister to Walmart and we would get a toy…yeah we were spoiled.
My dad passed away when I was 17. But as a kid one of my favorite memories was when he would hold me up like a guitar & strum my stomach actually tickling me & singing “Froggy went a courting”
I always enjoy having a big family, home cooked dinner with my dad at the dining room table. He sits at the head of the table and always has a big smile on his face to see me !
My dad passed when I was 11 and I am now 56. He was my hero, the one person I always wanted to spend time with. I watched football with him, went fishing with him, & we loved eating McDonald’s French fries together! Just being with him – no matter what we were doing, was what I loved.
Hunting
My Dad loves to play cards. We will spend the day celebrating him and playing cards. Might even let him win! 🙂
My father is now deceased but if it could spend one day with him – I would go for a drive in the truck. As a child my father worked two jobs and one job on the weekend was driving a dump truck. If he could, he would swing by the house and pick us up to go with him in that dump truck. I can remember many a hot summer day in the big ole truck with the windows down just riding side by side. Sometimes we talked and laughed but mostly it was about riding around and spending time with Dad.
My favorite thing to do with my dad is just to talk with him. Whether we’re talking about geek culture, movies, music, gardening, cooking, or anything else.
Talking
On father’s day, I will spending time trying to teach my kids to fish with my husband. My father isn’t alive anymore.

My Dad is 91 years old and does not live in my town. I go visit him and my 90 year old mom often. My dad does not hear well now. He spends most of his days in his recliner in the living room. He and mom watch a lot of TV. I enjoy sitting across from him and playing dominoes. He plays a mean game. I usually keep score and am embarrassed to say he beats me 3 out of 4 games. Although he does not hardly talk, we enjoy each other’s company and communicate in this manner. I am so thankful to have both my mom and my Dominoes partner in crime…my dad.

Fishing, hands down.
Daddy was in the hospital for two weeks before he passed on. One of the times I was sitting with him, he kept making the same motion with his hands. I asked him what he was doing (keeping in mind he was on the maximum dosage of pain meds at the time.)
He replied, “Going fishing. Making more flies.”
Of course! <3
At this stage in his life. We sit on his little patio and talk a lot. Mostly, about his youth, our family and days gone by. It’s bittersweet.

My Dad was a paraplegic after falling down a flight of stairs when I was 5. He lived for his children after that. He would be waiting for us every day to come from school to play board games or play pitch outside. Our friends loved our Dad and when they came to our house to play he played with us.
I love sitting with him and asking the questions that I’ll be sorry I didn’t ask when he’s gone.
My Dad lives far but anytime we have a chance to see each other, we will either sit in front of TV and talk or go out to eat at his favorite restaurant and talk. So basically we eat and talk.

My dad is gone. I enjoyed eating parched peanuts with him. He could make the best
Wow!! I honestly don’t know where to begin or what to say. My Daddy passed away from a massive heart attack 10 years ago and now thinking back I love every single memory of him even the bickering when I was a teenager. But my most favorite thing to do with him when he was here was helping him mow the lawn because my daddy was real old fashioned and believed yard work was for men and growing up my brothers helped outside while I helped my mom inside. But after I was grown I moved out of state for a while and I had to learn how to do those things. He was really shocked and proud at the same time that I knew how to take care of myself. I know he is looking down at me today with that same proud feeling as I try and teach my boys to be hardworking just like their granddaddy.
What do you really enjoy doing with dad?
Unfortunately, I lost my dad when I was 10 years old, he was killed in an industrial work accident. That was 44 years ago. My parents were divorced when I was 4. I had 6 years that my dad spent every day he had off work with my brother and I. I have fond memories. Thanks for the chance to win.

My dad and I did competitive target shooting together.
Boating
Spending time together on the lake was always a wonderful adventure with my dad.
Saltwater fishing!
When I was younger, my dad would sneak me a sip of his beer whenever a big game was on. When I come home to visit, I have to sip his beer if there’s a big game. He claims it’s for good luck.
My favorite thing about my dad is all the time and love he put into family meals especially for special occasions.
I really miss his hugs. He told everybody, “I sure do love my family”. That’s PRICELESS!!!! I could write a book about what made him not just a good father but a great DADDY.
watching boxing with him
Talking to him about his childhood and his parents. He grew up on a farm. He tore apart a tractor and reassembled it. He started school in the 4th grade, went to college at age 15. Joined the effort in WWII. Used the GI bill to become a doctor and married one of the very few female doctors at that time. He is gone now and I feel there was so much more to know.
My dad is no longer around but we used to go either fishing off a deep sea fishing boat, sometimes we had a father-daughter weekend and just go drive somewhere for the weekend. One of my favorite things we did was go to Hollywood Studios, get bean soup in a bread bowl and then watch the Indiana Jones show, then we’d leave. We’d just got to eat and watch one show.
I enjoy golfing with my dad because it gives us a lot of time to talk and joke around.
My grandfather was pretty much my dad and he was a great storyteller. I loved sitting and listening to him talk about his various adventures growing up.

My grandfather was like a dad to me, since mine was never around and I was always amazed at how he could start with some wood and nails and make the most beautiful and sturdy furniture, toys, etc. I loved hanging out in his wood shop with him and looking through all the old JCPenney catalogs while he worked, those were the days! Take care and I hope you have a great day~ Mrs.Clark
I enjoy riding with my dad while he shows me the places that are important to his past. He tells wonderful stories.
Riding horses! 🙂
I don’t see my dad too often, but we enjoy going out to eat when we get together.
Civil war history with dad! Movies, battlefields, documentaries… I grew my love for it through him, and its still fun today.
My dad is no longer here I just think back to the wonderful days we spent together.
We enjoyed camping as a family. We still go to the same spot each summer.
My dad and I would bowl together.
I really enjoy spending time and just talking with my dad. It doesn’t hurt when he cooks for me too 🙂
My Dad is no longer with us, but I remember watching football with him and learning about the game.
I enjoy fishing with my dad. Grilling our catch afterwards is great too, especially bacon wrapped hogfish!!! Yummy!!!

My dad passed away when I was young but my grandfather was very much a father to me. He has since passed also, but I used to love to listen to his stories while fishing or just driving around in the car. But my favorite of all was when he would go to the store to get dinner and come home with nothing but about 25lbs of beef and make grandma mad.
My favorite thing to do with Dad is to go camping. We usually only have bacon when we camp.
My Dad is no longer with us, but I always loved talking to him. I will never forget him telling me that the older I would get, the smarter he would get. It took me a while to grow up and realize that he was right!
My girls love spending time with dad in kitchen. They love to help him cook. We are so blessed
