Smithfield Recipe Contest!

News you can use! Smithfield is one of the supermarket bacons that I buy a lot. While I was looking up some bacon recipes, an ad caught my eye.

Smithfield.com is offering $30,000 for your best recipe! If you've got a great recipe that uses a Smithfield product and has 10 ingredients or less, they want to see it. They'll choose their favorite ten recipes from your submissions, announce the finalists in November and post the recipes on their website.

All finalists will compete for the grand prize of $30,000 cash and a chance to meet Paula Deen. They're also asking all website visitors to vote for their favorite recipe. The "People's Choice" winner will receive $5,000! The remaining eight finalist will get a Paula Deen Signature 12 piece steel and cookware set.

Now I'm not very original when it comes to recipes but I know a lot of the bacon lovers out there are. This seems like a great opportunity to let bacon shine in the spotlight like it should. Spread the word!
