Was given loads of bacon but dh doesn't like it much so any ideas as to what I can make and disguise it too

Thanks

Doesn't...like...bacon? I'm not quite sure I understand - bacon's wonderful! You could chop it finely and use it in a spaghetti bolognaise, but to be honest bacon's got quite a strong, distinctive flavour (especially smoked bacon) so I think it'll still be fairly obvious to your DH. You can at least freeze it (I spread it out as single rashers on a baking sheet and then bag it up when it's completely frozen) and then you're never far away from a bacon sandwich!

for me the best thing to do with bacon.. is bacon sarnies:D

you could make a chicken and red wine casserole... with bacon thats nice... but cut the bacon up small with a sissors so hubby might not notice it.....

If he doesn't like bacon then don't try to force it down him because he won't thank you.
Keep it for yourself & enjoy bacon sarnies every day for the next year!

Umm, my favourite idea, will keep it all for myself! Thanks for all your help. :T

Leek and Bacon Pie; although not very 'unbacony' ive not come accross anyone who doesnt like it. Its in the Tana Ramsay Family cookbook.

As long as I don't put down a plate of bacon with mash and veg think I'll be alright:rolleyes: The pasta idea and leek and bacon pie sounds delish so I'll give those a go.

Thanks
