Cooking Bacon In A Truck

I cook bacon in large batches in the oven at home. It generally keeps in the fridge for about 2 weeks after it's cooked. I drain off the bacon grease into a Mason jar or grease keeper (strain it first) and use it for cooking.

The great double up (let nothing go to waste) ... bacon to enjoy and the bacon flavored grease to cook with later. Best way to have fresh green beans, tablespoon of bacon grease, garlic bits, diced onion and saute. Yum!

For those Crock Pots in Winter, try these new Campbell's Slow Cooker packets Campbell's Slow Cooker Sauces Tavern Style Pot Roast

They also have Beef Stew (add Beef & Veg), Apple Bourbon Pulled Pork BBQ (add Pork) & they also do Skillet Sauces for those electric skillets. Have not tried yet since I got hooked on the Pot Roast (5 times this past winter at home).

Use the disposable Slow Cooker bags for easy clean up afterwards, just place a 3lbs. Chuck Roast, pour packet over it, put cover on and set it for 10 hours on low ... smell is amazing and the taste is real good. Don't be afraid of that 3 lbs piece of roast, after cooking it, it'll be about 2 lbs. with sauce when done. Pop a 60 second microwave bag of Uncle Ben's RIce or those Microwavable Baked Potatoes to go with it and you're styling for dinner.
