Lets share tips on how to cook bacon. For example, I use an empty metal can placed in the sink to collect the fat in instead of pouring it down the drain. (Make sure family members ESPECIALLY Kids stay away from the can and while your cooking bacon !!)
Use long metal Tongs for placing the bacon to avoid getting oil splashed on your hand.
Merry Christmas and Happy new Year!
Share your ideas so we can all know: "How to bring home the Bacon and Eat it safely too!"
------
Get baking pan (to catch drippings) and a small baker's rack (metal grill for cookies). Place bacon strips evenly on top of bakers rack, bake at 350 degrees for about 8-10 minutes or until it looks done.
For added flavor, take it out a few minutes before done, brush with maple syrup, return to oven.
We have Bacon-Cheese Brunch every Christmas morning.
Bacon-Cheese Brunch.
One lb of bacon. Cooked, drained and crumbled.
1 can pie apples
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups Bisquick
1 1/2 cups milk
2 Tbls sugar
4 eggs
Preheat oven to 375.
Layer pie apples in bottom of a 7 1/2 X 12 x 2 pan (heck, I just use the 9 x 13 and it turns out fine!), then layer on the crumbled bacon and then the cheese.
In a separate bowl, mix the Bisquick, milk, sugar and eggs until smooth. Pour over the apple/bacon/cheese mixture. Bake for 30-35 minutes until knife inserted in center comes out clean
Reminds me of the dog treat commercial,
“Bacon!, Bacon!, Bacon!”
Nothing like the smell of bacon & eggs & coffee over a camp stove in the middle of the woods.
One of the most versatile foods going also, many uses other than with eggs, great on salads, sandwiches, burgers, as a wrap around wild goose breast too keep it from drying out, in soups (bean & bacon, clam chowder, potatoe & bacon, etc).
Love the stuff.
