How To Make DIY Bacon Salt

Let me ask you a simple question: do the dads in your life love bacon?

I honestly don't think I've ever met a dad who doesn't like bacon — making picture-perfect bacon on Sunday mornings is probably chapter one in the "How To Be A Dad" guidebook!

So if you're struggling to come up with a Father's Day gift this year, don't worry; Dad's favorite breakfast meat is here to help.

No, I'm not suggesting you buy your dad or your husband a bouquet of bacon, but let's be real: who wouldn't love that?

Instead, we have a delicious recipe for DIY bacon salt that captures all the appeal of bacon, minus the mess and grease.
