Bacon (The Cheap Way)

I love Bacon, and so does my family.  It tastes amazing, especially, in a BLT (Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato sandwich).  One of the issues I have with bacon is that the texture is a little rough and the kids have a hard time chewing it.  The kids especially, have a hard time when the bacon is in a sandwich form like the BLT. 

Now, this is organic bacon that we buy from a specialty shop in town.  And, let me tell you it's even better the fresher it is.  That is definitely not a lie!

Now, I like to cut up the bacon, this makes it look like the kids have more bacon than they actually do.  Also, when you cut it up like this and put it on a BLT you are using less, but still getting that amazing bacon flavor in the BLT.  This means that, that pound of bacon you bought lasts longer than it would if the slices stayed whole.  It may take a little bit longer, but to be honest it does not take that much longer.  I personally, use my meat cutting scissors, I line them all up and cut them all at the same time.  Now, I do, do this after they bacon is cooked.  This way I do not have to wait for the bacon to cool down for the kids, because it is already cool.  Be careful and use caution while doing this.  Bacon does get extremely hot and touching anything right off the stove is dangerous, make sure you let it cool first before touching the bacon.
