Are you wanting to experiment with going Vegan, but fear you will miss Bacon too much? Whelp, I have an idea to assist in that transition. Try my recipe and see if this will help you brave the change. This is simple stuff, and way healthier than pork. Each of the 10 slices are only 62 calories, 3.4g carbs, 2.8g fiber, .6g net carbs, 4.9g protein and 3.4g fat. You can use your "Bacon" in anyway you please, but I decided to put it in a marvelous dinner dish. Follow along and see if you are a believer!
