Directions
Homemade Fresh Bacon Bits, Fresh is just so much nicer then the pre-packaged kind that uses picnic bacon and tastes like cardboard. These fry quickly and you don’t have to crumble the slices after frying them. There is no need to separate the pieces. They will separate during cooking. Use these in any recipe calling for crumbled bacon or bacon bits. Perfect for salads and baked potato toppings or twice baked potatoes., THIS WAS THE BEST RECOPE I BAVE EVER USED, IT WAS SO HELPFUL AT MY FAMILY GET TOGETEHERS AND I EVEN MAILED THE RECIPE TO MY COMPANY AND IM GETTING THEM TO ADVERTISE THE WHOLE RECIPE. 10/Q0 IGN, I, too, keep bacon always fried up for use in chocolate cakes, chocolate chip cookies, omelets and just plain ol’ scrambled eggs, however, so that the bacon doesn’t shrink so much I do it a bit different. I cut the bacon in 1/4″ strips while still partially frozen, then place each strip on its side in a skillet set on low medium and cover tightly. After 15 minutes, I separate the pieces and continue to cook with the lid on another 15-20 minutes. Then I take the lid off and keeping the same temperature, let it cook about 30 more minutes. By “sweating” the bacon, the juices will keep the bacon plumped up and the same size. When crisp I drain it and keep the drippings for other uses. I store it in a tightly covered dish in the refrigerator. My rescued Pugs get a few bits on their Sunday morning meal. Oops! I’m spoiling them!
