Suggested Improvements to Death in a Pan

As with any good dish, there is always room for improvement. One such improvement would be with the bacon roast. Perhaps it would be a good idea to cook the bacon a little bit first before weaving it together. This might help it stay together a little better.


As for the carbonara, there isn't much to improve on. It was rich, creamy, and cheesy. It wasn't exactly what you would call traditional, but it was damn good and maybe even better. This was my very first time both making and eating carbonara, and I was not disappointed. In the future it could be lightened up by adding less eggs, cheese, and bacon drippings. It could also be made even less healthy with more eggs and even some heavy cream.

All in all it was a great dish that should be made and consumed with caution. Eat at your own risk with this one folks.

Don't forget my suggestion of freezing the mozzarella before baking the roast. Also, I don't remember if it was Cotton or me, but there was mention of breadcrumbs and a deep-fryer. Oh and the bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks. Yikes, we could go on and on.
