Broccoli slaw mix is great for a quick stir fry with leftover meat served over some rice.

[@SallyMayBaby]

We grind our elk or deer, then grind up bacon ends and pieces, then mix it all together and package for bacon burgers. Big hit!

[@kr8477]

The nicest thing about precooking bacon is not having to clean the pan every time lol! The same thing for taco meat. I usually cook 5+ pounds at a time and freeze in 1 pound portions, then it's ready to go for an easy taco night.

[@itsjustme.7059]

I love precooked bacon. I get it at Costco and it’s a reasonable price for the amount you get. I love BLTs and I can have them without all the work.

[@mamabairds]

Great tip!

[@tawanajackson5545]

I cook up bacon in a aluminum foil pan lined with foil for easy clean up and layer in wax paper and put it in aluminum foil pan and freeze. Of course I save the grease lol.

[@kr8477]

@@tawanajackson5545 Yes!! I forgot to mention earlier that I use a half sheet pan lined with parchment. You don't get quite the same browning with parchment but nothing sticks and I think the bacon grease is a little cleaner. Aluminum foil pans are wonderful and I won't make lasagna any other way lol. I definitely recommend precooking taco meat. I usually cook 5+lbs at a time and freeze in 1lb packs. Just defrost for an easy taco night and no nasty pan to clean.

[@midlifeandnailingit6342]

Trick for a semi homemade baked bean.. Use a large can of Bush’s baked beans. Add 1 chopped onion, 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup brown sugar. Simmer on low until thick… It takes 30-45 minutes. Stir often…

[@midlifeandnailingit6342]

Or just the two green peppers you have there.. I don’t always use just red… :)

[@mtwhyte8505]

The broccoli coleslaw you can cook it up and make egg rolls and add the venison meat chicken shrimp fish imitation crab. I used the broccoli slaw salad all the time for egg rolls and Thai food

[@gaylamcclamma1818]

Thank you for continuing to encourage people to use thier local food banks. Utility costs are high in the winter and many people have to choose between heat, medicine or food..food often looses out. Our over flowing land fills thank you too.

[@mamabairds]

You are so welcome!

[@SSanf]

You can often get free potatoes at the food bank. Use the bacon to make and freeze a whole mess of twice baked potatoes. You will be glad you did. PS Twice baked potatoes are selling for $4.29 for just two at Kroger right now. So, you can eat like rich people with potatoes and that bacon. Yay.

[@mamabairds]

Do you get to the point where you have them stuffed with the filling and then freeze them at that point? Thank you for the help!

[@SSanf]

@@mamabairds Yes! The ones you can buy are frozen.

[@tamara-lnlhomestead1441]

[@MyFavoriteColorIsBLUE]

Do you have a recipe for your egg rolls 😋?

[@kdevon4736]

My mom and I spent a week in a cabin near Rock Creek a few years ago. Every breakfast had the best bacon I ever had! My suggestion for the bacon is trying the various types of bacon jam. With onions, with jalapenos, with tomatoes, etc. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@teridoster5840]

Yum, bacon&onion jam on a burger is so delish!

[@mamabairds]

Slightly different but my recipe is called meaty beans. I need to find it, now I am craving it. Merry Christmas

For the bacon, wrap chicken tenders with bacon, in a bowl combine chili mix and brown sugar. Roll the bacon wrapped chicken in the mix, bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Soooooo yummy.

[@tuxphinsmom1150]

Forgot to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.

[@tuxphinsmom1150]

@@dianeshover1465 Hi Diane, Chili Mix is indeed the packets for making chili. The chicken tenders is the raw chicken tenders although I have never tried it with the frozen....you might have to adjust the time so that the tender is not cold in the middle. These would get wiped out at sports parties, ok let's be real one taste and they will disappear even at a year party🤭😆🤣

I use brocolli slaw in egg roll in a bowl.

[@kimrector8230]

I cook brown beans in my slow cooker it takes about 5 hours just follow recipe. I usually make scallop potatoes to go with it

[@elainemagee516]

If I had an abundance of bacon some of my favorite uses would be adding it to Fettuccine Alfredo, BLT sandwiches, Club Sandwiches, Cobb Salads and Grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches. These are all favorites so I could eat them all often and not mind. Blessings

[@mamabairds]

Love all the ideas! Thanks!

Try bacon jam and caramelized bacon chutney. Split pea and bacon soup. Congratulations on a third huge box of bacon! You are right. Can you imagine the flavor of venison sausage?! Delish... can't wait to see what you come up with... Merry Christmas 🎅 to you and your family! Take good care!!

Then we had a yummy roast dinner later in the afternoon after my daughter in law's Dad came.

Merry Christmas to you and the whole family! Carmen who uses her daughters youtube with permission due to password issue. Please enjoy yourself and always remember it's your Christmas too! I told my sister this and rocked her world. I told her to calm down enjoy the day, after all it's your Christmas too! She started crying and said you know what I never thought of that and you are so right. She now delegates and allows others to help. So have a wonderful; Christmas enjoy the kids and the husband, make some memories, eat what you want and I will be eating hors d'oeuvres, an adult beverage, cookies, birthday cake (he is the reason) and candy. Until next time much love. Merry Christmas!! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@dana7937]

Beans I like to do.. 1 can bushes beans, 1 can pinto beans, 1 can navy beans( rinsed) and 1 can northern beans( rinsed). I put in 13x9 pan. I then add 1 cup ketchup , several squirts of mustard. several dashes worcestershire sauce, 2 TB vinegar, some brown sugar to taste. I then add 1 sautéed onion and 1 lb cooked hamburger meat( venison is yummy) . After adding the meat i taste to see if it needs anything else. Then I cut up several slice of raw bacon stir it in. Bake in 350° for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Cook until they are as thick as you want. I usually cook the longer time. They are yummy. Great on tortilla chips for a dip, as a side or just them.

[@mamabairds]

Sounds so good! Thank you!

💁🏻‍♀️I adore celebrating the season with other cultures...😁 ☝🏻When I was younger I spent the holidays in Germany and the best memory was when my friend's grandmother, oma, asked if I would like to have goose or duck for Christmas dinner and because I had never had either I chose goose because of the Christmas stories (I knew I could have duck at the Chinese restaurant)...I have yet to have goose again since because that is a time in my life I have never been as grateful to experience 🙏🏻

[@helenmorgan4003]

Goose is so yum if you time it right with their growth. We had some on our farm I would slow roast them carve them up and make a pot of gravey and then portion and put in oven bags with gravey and when wanted would take out in the morning to thaw and then pock holes in the bag and into hot oven for3/4 an hour, so moist and you wouldn't know it had been frozen. The only sad bit of having goose was that they would follow my husband around all day.

Hamburger with baked beans mixed in has been a fall back go to meal in our family for 40+ years. When $ is tight you still get plenty of protein if you use way less hamburger with the beans. 1 cup baked beans is 12 grams of protein & 1 ounce of hamburger is 4 grams protein so you can get enough protein for a meal serving from 1 cup beans with 1 ounce hamburger. Meat & beans combined are a great way of filling bellies with higher protein meals.

You could try making bacon bits for salads & as a topping on casseroles.

[@tiachandler5350]

HahahhahahahahHHHhH lmao yes being from Southern from Georgia that was defined not okay hahahah work on it ma'am your southern accent needs work haha seriously though you are absolutely awesome so cool that you got another box of bacon so soon very cool ...bacon is ridiculously priced these days everything is very high right now but bacon is crazy expensive I don't even get to buy it from the store anymore cause it's either a small thing of bacon or a extra pack of ground beef chicken pork chops cubed steak or more veggies so I definitely choose the meats or veggies cause that's going to go further then that one pound of bacon ......but it sucks I looooooove bacon so much lol

[@DebraCrossen]

We have a save a lot and they sold ends and pieces of bacon we bought a couple boxes because they were on sale and we broke it up and put in storage bags and I made it for any meal that we wanted not just breakfast. But it helps with the extra meat you may need.
