From the “Bacon Salt Story” page:
It was then that Justin told Dave and another coworker named Kara about his idea for Bacon Salt™. Kara, who is a vegetarian, loved the idea. Dave, a card-carrying carnivore and Midwesterner, loved it even more. Even the waiter at the fancy restaurant loved it.
That’s right: a seasoning that makes everything taste like bacon. And salt, one would presume.
There’s actually something to this. Bacon is the Great Seasoner, something well known to anyone who has eaten Southern cooking, turning basic blanched green beans into a soupy morass of savory slop. While I doubt Bacon Salt will completely replace little cubes of fat back in my life, I can see using it to add bacon flavor to attempts at otherwise healthy cooking.
Plus it sounds a little like “Bacon Assault,” and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Yes!
I just had that moment in my life in which I realize everything from this point on will be downhill.
Oddly enough, I think Baco-bits are vegetarian.
why not just use bacon?
i don’t really get it
I love bacon salt! Viva la resistance!
I never even heard of Bacon Salt, but it has definitely made my day. I hope its available around me. Thanks for the info!
Heh, I wonder how they did it and kept it vegetarian? And yes, Bacon bits (Bacos) are also vegetarian (they’re made of soy)… I wonder if MSG is the main ingredient in this Bacon Salt? As a vegetarian who misses the days of eating bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches, I sure wouldn’t mind trying some of this to season up an egg and cheese sandwich!
