Don’t get us wrong—bacon and eggs is an absolutely fantastic breakfast. But do you love bacon so much you want to incorporate it into other meals? There are plenty of ways to eat bacon multiple times a day!

Put it on Sandwiches

Bacon makes a fabulous addition to many sandwiches. Top a burger, make a BLT, or just add bacon to a simple turkey and cheese on sourdough. Bacon’s salty, crunchy, fatty goodness elevates any sandwich.

Casseroles

We’re not sure there’s a casserole that wouldn’t be made better with bacon. Search online for bacon cheeseburger casserole, bacon alfredo casserole, chicken bacon ranch casserole—you get the picture. You’ll find plenty of options for easy weeknight dishes that help you get your bacon ration in for the day.

Add it to Salads

You’re being healthy and eating a green salad, right? But you still deserve a little punch of something really delicious, so add some bacon. Maybe consider a cobb salad, or the classic iceberg wedge, topped with blue cheese and piles of bacon bits. But you can also use crispy bacon to add flavor and crunch to pasta salad and potato salad.

Wrap it up

Add a punch of flavor to asparagus, beef medallions or even hotdogs by simply wrapping them in bacon! You can also wrap shrimp, scallops, pork tenderloin and jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese.

Bacon Spaghetti

Next time you’re making a bolognese sauce for spaghetti, cook up some bacon before adding your ground meat into the same pan. Brown the meat, add your sauce (no shame if you’re using a jarred sauce—we’re all busy!), and pour over cooked spaghetti. Your sauce will have a delicious new flavor your family will love.

Baked Potato

Is there a more classic baked potato topping than bacon? Skip the pre-cooked jarred bits and fry up your own crispy bacon while the potatoes cook in the oven. Split those delicious spuds open, pile in the butter and sour cream, and then top with your freshly fried, super crispy bits of deliciousness.

Pasta Carbonara

Since the original Italian protein usually used in carbonara, guanciale, can be hard to find in the States, consider using bacon as a substitute. Just follow your favorite recipe, or search one up online, and use bacon instead of guanciale.
