Check out our review of this awesome bacon bin for storing bacon grease! You will notice that they do have a lot more fat than regular bacon, which is great for keto!Īnd make sure you save all that bacon grease as you can use it just like butter or olive oil. Then I place on paper towels after cooking to drain any excess grease. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to cook the ends and pieces, stirring occasionally. I brown them in a skillet over medium heat, just like regular bacon. When I cook bacon ends and pieces, I usually do a rough chop once through, just to make sure all the pieces are somewhat uniform for even cooking time. The ends and pieces are perfect for making bacon bits that you can use in our Keto Broccoli Bacon Salad, Keto Cheddar Bacon Ranch Stuffed Burgers, or this Keto Chicken Jalapeño Popper Soup. They’re completely interchangeable for the most part, the only downside being if you need whole slices of bacon for a recipe, like to make these Keto Bacon Wrapped Onion Rings.
You can use them almost exactly as you would regular bacon. How do you use the bacon ends and pieces? That’s twice as much bacon for about the same price! Prices will of course vary depending on your grocery store. At my grocery store, I can usually get two pounds of bacon ends and pieces for $7 to $8, while one pound of regular thick-cut bacon will cost me $8 to $9. There are huge savings to be had when buying bacon ends and pieces!īacon ends and pieces tend to be much more affordable than regular bacon.
BITS AND PIECES SHOW FULL
There’s nothing wrong with them, they just don’t look as pretty as a full slice of bacon. So what exactly are bacon ends and pieces?Ī good way to think of bacon ends and pieces is as if they are the bacon leftovers the ugly pieces that didn’t quite slice right, and so they didn’t make the cut to get into the regular bacon package. If your local grocery store does have it, you should be able to find it wherever bacon is stored (and likely refrigerated) and it’s usually on the bottom shelf. And not all grocery stores even carry this form of bacon. To be fair though, it can sometimes be difficult to find bacon ends and pieces at the grocery store. In fact, a lot of people have never heard of or cooked with bacon ends and pieces! If you’re confused by the title of this post, you’re not alone.
