Bacon recipe?

Im feeling very lazy this evening & wanting to use up some cooking bacon that I've bought (its already chopped up into pieces).
I was going to make carbonara but I don't have pasta:eek:, I don't have rice either but would be very grateful for some ideas of what I could do with this bacon that doesn't involve too much effort;)

    I cook a bacon and potato hot pot. Peel and dice some spuds, bung in whatever veg you have (onions, carrots, courgettes etc) and loads of olive oil and garlic. Stick in casserole dish and cook until spuds are soft and tender.

    What about a baked potato? Cook the potato, scoop out the centre and mix with butter, black pepper and bacon pieces. Refill the potato, top with grated cheese and pop under the grill to brown. Lovely with salad and coleslaw.

    These threads may give you some more ideas:

    What to do with bacon

    What to do with bacon offcuts

    I'll add your thread to the first link later to keep the ideas together.

    Pink you've hit the nail on the head that sounds divine - potato is already in microwave!

    Bitsy am going to use the rest of the bacon & make this hotpot & have it tomorrow. Sounds like a perfect winter meal - it's just im so hungry don't think I can be bothered to wait tonight!

    Thanks for the replies x
