Remember my pork-on-pork-on-pork recipe with a little beef from last week? Well, I found myself with some leftover pork rinds and bacon strips after making that multi-layered meaty masterpiece, and inspiration struck.
Instead of storing these precious ingredients for later and as my oven was still hot, I wondered: what would happen if I simply wrapped those pork rinds with bacon slices and baked them? Nothing fancy, just pure carnivore experimentation.
The result? Absolute magic. These two-ingredient wonders turned out incredibly crispy and perfectly salty—a heavenly snack that pairs beautifully with cold drinks or works brilliantly as an appetizer when friends drop by.
Sometimes, the simplest ideas lead to the most delicious outcomes. This ridiculously easy spin-off from my more complex recipe proves that carnivore cooking doesn’t need to be complicated to be mind-blowingly good.
It’s pork-on-pork perfection that takes just minutes to prepare and seconds to devour. Let’s dive into this gloriously simple carnivore creation!
Step-by-Step Instructions
For this recipe, you need simply two ingredients: pork rinds…
…and an equal amount of bacon slices.
Let’s start wrapping: Take a pork rind and place it at one end of a bacon slice.
Wrap the bacon around the pork rind, covering it completely.
Place the wrapped pork rind on a baking rack set over a baking dish.
Repeat with remaining pork rinds and bacon slices.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes…
…or until the bacon is crispy.
Serve immediately while still warm and crispy.
Here’s the recipe for you to enjoy:

Hyvää juhannusta to all my Finnish readers—and Happy Midsummer to everybody else! While I’m inside creating these bacon-wrapped treats, the traditional juhannus (Midsummer) celebrations are happening all around Finland. Even though we’re dealing with rainy and chilly weather this year, it won’t dampen our festive spirits!
That’s the charm of Finnish Midsummer—you never know what you’re going to get. Temperatures can range from a freezing 0°C (32°F) to a scorching 35°C (95°F). This unpredictability is part of what makes our celebrations so uniquely Finnish.
Whether you’re gathering around a juhannuskokko bonfire, enjoying the midnight sun, or staying cozy indoors with these bacon-wrapped pork rinds, I wish you all a wonderful juhannus weekend!
