Bacon bits are great to liven up anything with a cheese sauce - cauliflower cheese, macaroni cheese. As a crunchy in salad on jacket potatoes, carbonara. In bacon, potato onion bake. Anything that calls for bacon chopped up or lardons.

Carbonarra.
Make 'phanaki' as I suggested in another thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=511403
(I prefer it with sausage, but since you want to use the bacon up...)
Quiche.
Omelette/scrambled eggs.
Soup.
Put some in macaroni.
Boil some eggs and mash up with a little butter and some ham for sandwiches.

Of course it depends what else you have in, but I hope that helps a bit.

Bacon, chicken, spinach, goats cheese and pine nut salad. It's fab! Although I've just reread your post and you may not have all the other ingredients if you are trying to use stuff up. Sorry!

Bacon sandwiches
Bacon and split pea soup

Or you could freeze it for another time.

bacon roly poly. Make a suet crust make the filling with fried bacon bits, chopped onion and a tim of chopped tomatoes. Roll suet pastry out spread on bacon mixture, roll up and bake in oven. Yummy. Sorry it is a bit vague but I made it up.

Soup - fry some chopped bacon bits with an onion, plus any other uncooked veg you have, all chopped. Add a tin of tomatoes, some stock or water and some pearl barley or lentils (neither of which want soaking). Cook till tender, add any cooked veg / leftovers, add some uncooked pasta if you like, cook till all is tender. Improvise as you like, for example add canned beans or sweetcorn or whatever. Not seasonal perhaps, but quite nice to have something warming this weather...
