Imitation Bacon Bacon

Tastefully Simple has lots of products in their standard line as well as the seasonal.  Bacon Bacon is another one of those staple products that is in my cupboard and is my featured product of the month.

I use it in place of imitation bacon bits or real bacon bits.  What does that mean?  Less items in my spice cupboard or stored in the refrigerator!

INGREDIENTS: Imitation bacon bits (textured vegetable protein [soy flour, caramel color, red 3], salt, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, natural flavor, hydrolyzed corn, soy and wheat protein), minced onion, salt, natural flavor.

One capful is approximately 2 Tablespoons.  I use it every weekday in my morning omelette.  I also use it on my baked potatoes as a topping and on top of homemade corn bread.
