My mother used to fry them ubtil really crisp. Drain off most of the fat and then mix in beaten eggs and scramble with the bacon. We used to have this on a sandwich in the old days. It was yummy

I bought a bag of bacon off cuts to use in a quiche, but i wondered if anyone had any other ideas i could use them for? the bits are quite small and i froze the rest of the bag so i'll have to defrost them all together to use them!!

Hi Mandy

You could use them for topping pizzas or one of my favc meals is

Bacon (you can use bacon bits)
campbells cond tomato soup
onions
mushrooms
macaroni

Fry bacon bits, onions and mushrooms
add tin of soup

Stir and eat

you can put grated cheese on top and melt under the grill

you can use the bacon bits in carbonarra or in ommlettes

Rough mince or chop with equal amount of belly pork and make a pork pie .

If you search BBc food there are some great recipes

Rick Steins and Gary Rhodes recipes are particulary good .

Bacon and mushroom pilaff
Fry bacon with onions in some oil, when cooked/browned add rice and coat with oil. Add stock. Bring to simmer and add crushed/chopped garlic(I usually use two cloves, depends on what you like) and then simmer until rice cooked.Add chopped mushrooms. I also add some mixed veg at this point (frozen carrots, peas and sweetcorn). Serve whilst hot.

I add them to lentil or pea soup if I have't any bacon stock. Also add them to bolonaise sauce. Carbonara sauce. Cook with mushrooms and have with pasta.

I split the packet up into smaller quantities for freezing.

I cook them then add to cheesy mash.
Kids love it for tea with baked beans .
