Here’s a quick and easy way to cook bacon for a large number of people with no turning or draining! Separate bacon slices and lay on rack in shallow pan, overlapping fat edge of one strip over the lean tip of the next. Bake in hot over (400°) about 10-12 minutes or until done.

• 5-6 slices fresh bread, buttered, with crusts removed
• ½ lb. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 lb. cook, crumbled bacon
• ½ tsp. dry mustard
• 1 tsp. salt
• 4 eggs, slightly beaten
• 2 cups milk
• Dash paprika

Combine crumbled bacon with cheese. Alternate bread and cheese/bacon in buttered 2-quart baking dish. Add eggs and milk. Bake 1 hour in 350° oven, until brown. Serves 6 to 8.

• 4 bacon slices
• 16 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 (4-oz.) jar diced pimento, rinsed & drained
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
• 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. ground red pepper
• 1/8 tsp. pepper

Cook bacon in large skillet 4-5 minutes on each side until crisp: remove bacon, and drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon. Stir together bacon, cheese and remaining ingredients just until blended. Spread on cocktail bread and serve.
