You would need to cook the bacon, at least, first so it is crisp; otherwise, it would be limp and slimey like if you add it to a pot of beans for flavoroing. Courage is fear that has said its prayers! -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark

Also in terms of cooking bacon, I likI find that the microwave actually does the best. I just take the bacon and put the strips between paper towels. I actually think it does a better job than cooking bacon on the stove. Drew Hunthause 714-296-7111 www.noexcusesblindguy.com-296-7111

Hi. Welcome to the list. I hope you enjoy your time here. My personal preference would be to cook a meat like bacon or sausage before putting it in the slow cooker. I've never used bacon in a slow cooker, but most casseroles, soups, etc. which use meats like bacon instruct you to cook the

Sausages can be cooked for 4 minutes with a George Forman grill set on high. I use the frozen sausage patties from Wal-Mart that are marked spicy. They are not hot, just fairly spicy. A lot of people don't know the difference between hot and spicy, but there is a difference. Spaghetti sauce

Don't be afraid to touch them (with clean hands). Use the knife in your dominant hand to cut, and feel with your other hand to see how big a square you're getting. If it's cutting a whole pan at once, I usually just grid it off, using one hand on the top of the knife blade to monitor how far
