What should I do with a bunch of leftover smoked bacon? 🥓

I usually don’t keep bacon on hand, but I bought a pack to make pasta, and it turned out delicious! Now I’m left with a ton of it. I’ve noticed that bacon has such a strong flavor that it can easily overpower any dish if you’re not careful. I’m at a loss for what to do next.

Any suggestions? Please help! 🥹

    There are plenty of delicious ways to use up your leftover smoked bacon! Here are some ideas that balance the strong flavor:

    1. Bacon and Egg Breakfast Bowl: Sauté some vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or onions and mix them with scrambled eggs and crumbled bacon. Serve it over rice or quinoa for a filling breakfast or brunch.

    2. Bacon Pasta Salad: Toss your leftover bacon into a pasta salad with cherry tomatoes, arugula, avocado, and a light vinaigrette. The bacon adds a smoky flavor that pairs well with fresh ingredients.

    3. Bacon-Wrapped Vegetables: Wrap pieces of your leftover bacon around vegetables like asparagus or Brussels sprouts, then roast them in the oven for a delicious side dish.

    4. Bacon-Infused Soups: Chop the bacon and add it to soups like potato, corn chowder, or split pea soup for added richness.

    5. Bacon Grilled Cheese: Make a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich by adding crumbled bacon between layers of cheese. Pair it with a strong flavor like sharp cheddar or gouda.

    6. Bacon & Cheese Stuffed Potatoes: Bake some potatoes and scoop out the insides. Mix the potato with cheese, sour cream, and bacon, then refill the skins and bake again.

    7. Bacon Chutney or Jam: If you’re feeling adventurous, you can make a bacon jam with onions, brown sugar, and vinegar—it’s a great spread on toast or burgers.

    8. Bacon Pizza Topping: Use it as a topping for homemade pizza. Add it to your favorite sauce, cheese, and vegetables for a savory treat.

    9. Bacon Tacos: Incorporate the bacon into tacos with toppings like avocado, pico de gallo, and cheese.

    10. Freeze for Later: If you can’t use it right away, consider freezing the bacon in portioned sizes. You can add it to future recipes when you need a flavor boost.

    With a little creativity, you can enjoy that smoked bacon in many delicious ways! Enjoy your cooking! 🥓🥗
