    The Bacon Blanket

    Woven with 10-14 strips of bacon. (I love this :))

    What do you do with it? Make a roll by wrapping it around almost anything. Like sausage, ground beef, cheese, eggs, etc. Bake it in an oven at 300 F until the internal temp is above 160 F. Slice off a chunk.

    It's called a Bacon Fatty (aka Bacon Explosion). This one has Jimmy Dean sausage, cheese, peppers, and onions.

    You make fun. But I'll bet it's almost required eating on a Keto diet.

    The problem is it looks too good, so it's gotta be bad for you. But it did make me clutch my chest a little.

    Mmmmm, the wonderful aroma of bacon being cooked.
    I could be a mile away, and my nose would follow that heavenly smell to the source, and I would adopt the begging position. :)

    Anything smoked is carcinogenic Martin, even if there are no nitrites in it.

    Three times now I've picked up Armour bacon at the Dollar General. I like it. But all bacon is good to me, except the sweet stuff. Armour used to be a well-known brand of canned meat.

    Yup. I remember the Armour star.

    I usually get thick sliced unless I''m running low on saved bacon fat, in which case I get the thin cheap stuff because it yields more grease.

    I don't usually get grocery items at the DG. I'll have to try that bacon.

    Bacon is sold by the pound. Thin or thick. How did you decide the thin stuff yields more grease?

    Thick bacon is too tough to bite off in a sandwich. :confused:

    I always figured the thin stuff is cheaper so is less lean. It seems to shrink up a whole bunch. Perhaps it's one of the many things I have been assured in that ain't necessarily so. :rolleyes:
