Ask the Expert Dorcas Miller Outdoor cookbook author Dorcas Miller believes ingredients should have zing - or they should stay at home. The bacon was great, but those cans were heavy. I haven't seen them in years. Don't be dismayed, though. I use Oscar Mayer Real Bacon Bits, found in the salad dressing section of the supermarket.
Bacon bits are lightweight, they provide great flavor, and they are extremely versatile.
Fold them into scrambled eggs, add them to hash browns, put them in oatmeal, or use them to pep up one-pot meals. If you're packing just a few days ahead, there's no problem with the bacon fat going bad, but if you're planning far ahead, store the meals in the refrigerator or freezer. Pack the cheese in a separate plastic bag. Serve into bowls and sprinkle with cheese. Work Outdoors at GORP Jobs Click Here.
