Vegan Bacon Is Not Just For Breakfast: Here Are 10 Vegan Bacon Dishes You Need To Try

Apr

When you hear the word “bacon,” you probably think two things. One, it’s a breakfast food. And two, if you’re vegan like us… I can’t eat that! We’re here to debunk both of those myths. How, you may ask? With a list of delicious lunch and dinner dishes that use 100% vegan bacon! You heard that right. Enjoy the taste of bacon sans the animal-derived ingredients, and in meals that aren’t just breakfast.

Is all this vegan bacon talk having you crave some plantbased meat? At The Pizza Plant, we include delicious, vegan meats on both of our signature pizzas. For a pizza topped with vegan pepperoni, go for our Everything But The Hog plantbased pizza. To try our vegan sausage, go for our Salsiccia Italiano plantbased pizza. Head to your local grocery store or shop online for The Pizza Plant today!

Where Can I Buy Pre-made Vegan Bacon?

Although a couple of the recipes listed below include vegan bacon made from scratch, you can always substitute homemade vegan bacon for a pre-made version. In today’s day and age where vegan eating is quite common, there are quite a few options for pre-made vegan bacon on the market. You can almost certainly find one in the frozen section of your local grocery store. For a full list of the best, pre-made vegan bacons, click here.

Now, let’s dive into some savory vegan dishes that include vegan bacon, and are totally acceptable to eat past noon!

1. Vegan Loaded Baked Potatoes

A warm hearty dish that stands the test of time, baked potatoes are delicious and can actually be quite a nourishing meal. Whip up one of these three vegan bacon recipes by Love and Lemons (the tempeh version is our favorite), and sprinkle it atop a baked potato that’s stuffed with vegan butter or vegan sour cream, chives, vegan cheese, and any other toppings you love.

2. Vegan BLT

This one’s real simple, but will blow your taste buds away. Grab your favorite vegan bread, a tomato, lettuce, and any vegan condiments you like. Throw on your favorite, pre-made vegan bacon – and just like that, you’ve got a delicious vegan sandwich! Check out the viral vegan bacon ‘TTLA’ sandwich that changed a woman’s life.

3. Vegan Bean and Bacon Soup

Described as “an elevated plant-based chili recipe,” this vegan soup recipe from Karissa’s Vegan Kitchen will simply leave you speechless. It calls for pre-made vegan bacon, and the author says her favorite is by the brand Sweet Earth. However, if you’d like to make the full recipe from scratch, you can chef up one of these vegan bacons by Love and Lemons.

4. Vegan Bacon Burger

We’re going all in with this one with perhaps the meatiest meal possible, made entirely vegan. Grab your favorite vegan burger patties, such as these ones by Impossible Foods, burger buns, veggie toppings, vegan condiments, and your favorite, pre-made vegan bacon. Throw it all together and you have a meal that would make any vegan or meat-eater’s mouth water.

5. Pizza Topped With Vegan Bacon

Did you really think we could list vegan bacon meals without talking about our favorite meal of all time? Yep — it’s time to top your pizza with vegan bacon! Grab a pre-made plantbased pizza by The Pizza Plant online or at your local grocery store. Sprinkle your homemade or pre-made vegan bacon on top of it and pop it in the oven. Voilà, the best pre-made, plantbased pizza with a little something extra. Call it a vegan meat-lovers supreme… or just call it absolutely delectable!
