Buy a pack of bacon pieces, most of the supermarkets have them for about £1, but the ones from Sainsbury are especially good. Last time I got some, there were whole rashers for sandwiches, 2 large bacon chops, and lots of pieces of rashers which I chop up, and these can be used for soups, pasta sauce, potato bakes etc. The bacon freezes well, so always have some as a standby, in portion sizes. From a single pack, there are at least three meals.
