There are just two of us here and when I cook bacon for BLTs or a bacon cheeseburger I cook a whole pound. I have a few slices left over even with quality control testing. These go in a zip lock bag in the fridge. They normally don't make it through the night. Sometimes my wife will say save me some bacon so I can have a sandwich tomorrow. I go to the fridge and look at it and try to decide if I want to eat it and bring down her wrath or not. It has gone both ways, and I have to say I really like leftover bacon.
