  • I use bacon in my stuffed potatoes - bake potatoes however you normally do. When cooked, cut in half and scoop out insides leaving shells. Mix with cooked bacon and onion, some cheese, mushrooms and a bit of marg/butter, put back into the potato skins and zap in the microwave just to reheat everything.
  • Wow so many wonderful ideas... i forgot to mention I can't eat potatoes (I have Insulin Resistance and eat Low Gi)

    I am liking the the stuffed mushroom idea, the omlette is a last resort idea... I am using the first half a packet for a 'messy sandwich' which is a cooked breakfast on HM Low Gi Rolls but as a dinner (because I really fancy it)... but would feel like a pig eating it twice in one week!

    You guys are so full of idea's when the brain stops...!

    Can you make a stew or casserole with bacon??? I fancy liver and bacon, but pregnant woman are not allower liver... was thinking something that way???

    Chop and fry bacon, and serve on top of pumpkin/squash soup (including the bacon drippings). Yum!

    [For a delicious squash soup, add a cooking apple (peeled/cored) to 1 butternut/acorn squash, peeled and chopped, and cover with stock. Simmer until soft (20-30 mins), season with black pepper (and salt, if not serving with bacon!) and blend.]
    Cogito, ergo sum.

    Why do you need to use it all at once?

    I freeze bacon in 2 slices packages, great for a bacon buttie or addting to a meal for one. Only takes 15 mins or so to defrost too, so no long waiting around for that.
    :hello:
  • jei70 sounds delishious x

    V.Lucky because I was an idiot who froze a large pack without seperating it first, and have been avoiding using it ever since :o
