Carol, have you ever tried the precooked bacon? I think it's a Hormel product, and we have purchased it at Costco in a package equal to three pounds of uncooked bacon. You can keep it in the freezer and only take out and reheat as many slices as you need. You reheat it in the microwave, between paper towels, and it comes out delicious. We don't eat bacon often, so this works well for us.
