Something I've been doing for years, long before "pre-cooked" bacon is cooking the entire lb. of bacon the first time I need it. Then I simply store it in a tupperware type container and use it as needed...saves on the clean up of the stove and cooking when you're in a hurry. I just nuke it when I want to have some...I don't used "processed" bacon bits...I like the real stuff, so I always have bacon cooked ahead then for a Ceasar. Of course if you need the bacon grease you can save it for use later as well.

I was just talking to my g.f. as I was cooking bacon this morning and she thought it was a great idea....seems old to me, but incase anyone hasn't tried it, thought I'd post the suggestion.
