Try dicing raw bacon, mixing it into lean ground beef and making burgers with it.
Then it's not lean hamburger anymore! but I bet it does have a terrific flavor. Tonight I cooked green beans in bacon drippings and I scramble eggs in it too. So many good uses for bacon fat.

I wasn't saying it was a lean hamburger any more! I was just saying it's damn good! You don't want fatty ground beef with bacon, because your grill will just be a bonfire. So you should use lean beef.
There is a chef outlet (ChefStore - Operated by US Foods) just opened in Columbia, SC. I have been filling my freezer from there. Pucked up 15 lbs of Bacon for $50 today. That's about the best deal I have found.
Tomorrow I try cooking a couple slices to see how it tastes.
DH came home from food lion with Gwaltney 30% reduced fat bacon. It was sliced so thin I could not get one single full slice of bacon . It was literally shredded. my kids , who are used to even slices of bacon (believe me they count) were really upset (I was too) that there was no way to fairly divide up the bacon. I wrote to the company as soon as I could. said 3-5 day before they answer.
Anybody else ever have this problem?
what is your favorite brand of bacon and why?
Yes, yes! We have tried that as well with the same result. DH said not to buy it again. He said who knew there was such thing as bad bacon. LOL!
I have recently learned that Bilo is carrying Hickory Sweet bacon. For many, many years that was the "house brand" for A&P and people swore by it. On my next shopping trip I will pick that up..you may want to give it a try.
I always marvel at how thin some of the bacon slices are, and the type of slicer they must use to get that thin of a slice. It must be close to surgical steel. I bought some cheap bacon once, and held it to the light, and it was like I was looking through a piece of lace. I believe my wife and I made only one meal off that package.
I used to raise hogs, and make my own bacon, and when I sliced it, I made sure the slices were worth cooking and eating. Also, my bacon was smoked in my smokehouse, with no water added, so when I cooked it in the skillet, there was little to no splattering, unlike this stuff that's sold nowadays. For those that haven't tried it, and can find it, fresh Jowl bacon is a treat like no other. Fry it, then sprinkle a little salt, pepper, and a dash of garlic powder on it. Personally, it doesn't get any better.
Couldn't agree more..we are talking about bacon, not prime rib!
I wouldn't pay $16/lb for Prime Rib, either. Or lobster, shrimp, king crab legs, etc. etc. (well, maybe the super jumbo king crab legs. . .)
