Using Crisp, Crumbled Bacon to Enhance Dishes

• 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.

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
