What to do with bacon offcuts

ooooh lovely in a tomatoey pasta sauce, also a white sauce or cheese sauce. Hhhhmmm fried/ sauteed with onion or mushroom, topped onto toast. hhhmmmm in yellow split pea soup. Or fried up crisp and sprinkled over salad. Yum yum....wishing I had 4lb of minced bacon right now!

fry some, cook some pasta then add the bacon and some beaten egg and just cook lightly til the egg is kind of scrambled. My kids love this!

Hi there :beer: We have an existing thread on bacon misshapes, with loads of suggestions. I'll add this thread to that one later.

I'm sure there's a recipe on here somewhere for a bacon and onion roly-poly, which I haven't tried but sounds lovely!:drool:

Really not sure where to post this - I hope someone kind will redirect it if necessary. However, please try a CoolTrader store. Not sure where they are most common but I suspect it will be in the north of England. In particular, go to the chiller cabinet and seek a packet of Bacon mis-shapes / offcuts. I bought my first packet to top a hotpot with. To my absolute amazement, these were not just skinny bacon bits but whole chunks of bacon ends - almost like bacon chops or gammon. And for 99 pence. I have had at least a dozen packets since for bacon casserole / stew type dishes. And the skinny pieces are still great for finishing off a hotpot! You can easily see which are likely to be the best buys because the packet is transparent. Good wishes to everyone who is discovering (or re-discovering) the joys of hearty, British cooking. Not always glamorous but by heck, it does fill you up well!

Also worth trying your local village butchers if you are lucky enough to have one I get some bargain ham hocks and bacon bits from them and they're great to have a pack off in the freezer for emegencies

I have bought bacon mis-shapes in Tesco and also Lidl. Surprisingly good.
