Crabtree variation of this recipe

Do not use low sodium bacon, it doesn’t produce enough grease.  Do not use thick bacon, you won’t get enough bacon.

We typically cook about 1 lb bacon because we double this recipe.

We do not double the salt – we stick to 2 teaspoons.  If you do not double the recipe, cut the salt in half.
