Using Crisp, Crumbled Bacon to Enhance Dishes

Quick Cooking Tip

Bacon

  • Crisply cooked, crumbled bacon is not only a great addition to salads, but also works well as a garnish for baked potatoes or other vegetables. Try mixing crumbled bacon into batter for muffins, biscuits and cornbread or use in your favorite stuffing recipe for added flair.
  • To prevent bacon from splattering so much, place it in flour first.
  • Snip the ends of the bacon to prevent them from curling when frying.

Substitute bacon toppings for bacon in your favorite recipes following these measurements:

  • 1 tablespoon = 1 1/2 strips of bacon
  • 1 3-ounce jar = 1 1/2 pounds of bacon
  • 7 grams = 1 tablespoon of bacon
  • 3/4 cup (NOT PACKED) = approx 1 pound of bacon
