I burnt the bacon. But I’m still going to eat it.

Bake some crusty bread. Let it sit for a day. Soak it in egg and milk wash for 20 minutes. Cook it.

You get a French toast that is epic.

Cost per person, $2.60

    It’s that pre-cooked stuff. Got it free during a freezer clean out. Tried crisping it in the toaster oven, but apparently it’s even too thin for that. Still tasted good even if it was burnt.

      My wife uses pre-cooked bacon. Doesn’t need to be heated up, just warmed up. I still have some strips in the fridge, gonna cut them up (as-is) and put them in my breakfast omelet. I generally throw leftovers in it, or just use sausage.

        This stuff looked like pink uncooked flesh that was dry. It needed some kind of heat to crisp it. Even came with instructions on the box to microwave it.

          But you didn’t microwave it, and probably know why. I think they just want you to heat it up. To be clear, we’re talking about fully cooked pork bacon. It’s just cold, so they want you to warm it up. It would be fine in a BLT though.

            I definitely didn’t microwave it because it looked more like rendered bacon strips rather than cooked. It had zero life. Tossing it in the microwave for 6 seconds per the instructions was not going to make anything remotely crispy or colored. But yeah I definitely put it in the toaster oven and left it there a little too long.
