    My grandmother saw me throwing the fat away and then quickly beat me. I wasted “liquid gold” and apparently committed a sin. Who knew! Roasted potatoes in bacon fat. It’s my guilty pleasure now. Loving the new episodes!

    the bacon pasta is soooo good! i made it today for lunch. i'm struggling too hard for parmesan cheese even but the cheap white cheese i have already worked fine. 4 strips of bacon and 150g pasta feeds two people. thank you so much frankie for all these golden ideas.

  • @AceMcCrank

    Protip: If you walk up to the counter you can usually get end piece bacon, which may not look pretty, but is roughly $2-$2.50/lb (roughly 40-50 strips worth!). In comparison, the measely 5 strips of bacon he put on the tray were the same cost as a full pound? You can really save some extra money here. And 0.86 cents for 2 pieces of bread? You can still get a loaf for $1-$1.20 depending on if it's on sale. That comes to 20 cents at most per slice. Lettuce, also much cheaper than listed here...
    Doing the math, I've come to 75 cents per BLT.

      and they're perfect for all sorts of really cheap foods. heck, i'm sure he could fill a whole episode of just slow-cooking beans - how to cook dry beans, bean soup, chili and "refried" beans. and then just measure 1.5 cups of beans (the equivalent of a can) into baggies or containers and freeze. and then, of course, i'm sure frankie wouldn't want to waste the aquafaba (he's already mentioned it in one episode, i think), so there's a whole 'nother episode. :D

      ounce for ounce, the wedge is less expensive and better tasting than pregrated or shelf-stable. Say what you want, but my advice is simply to give you the best {price to taste ratio} - that in the hard Italian cheese department, that's how one achieves the optimal ratio.
