Why cook bacon in a crock pot?
Our family was given a huge box full (45 pounds worth!) of bacon, and I needed to do something with it. While I love making it like this for the freezer, I knew that 45 pounds of bacon would take hours and hours to bake. So I decided to try putting it in the crock pot and walking away. 🙂
It was frozen at the time, so it seemed completely full when I put it into the crock. A few hours later, it had cooked down to this, ha!
I drained it (saving the grease to use when I make green beans, so delicious!). And I froze the cooked bacon in baggies. Everytime we want to add bacon to a meal, I simply throw some in a skillet and rewarm/crispt it up!
