How to Freeze Individual Servings of Bacon

We love bacon in our household. So much so that I purchase bacon when it is on sale and freeze the whole package until we need it. This presents a problem when I only need a few strips of bacon for a recipe. What I used to do was defrost the whole package of bacon and eat the rest. Is this a first world problem?

But wouldn't it be nice if you could stretch that package of bacon a little more and freeze them individually?

Here's a neat trick I saw a few years ago online which works well when you only need a few strips of bacon.

IngredientPackage of bacon, fresh

Materials
Plastic wrap
Ziploc bag

Directions
1. Take bacon out of the package. Roll two slices of bacon together tightly and place on a plate. Repeat.

2. Wrap each bundle of rolled bacon tightly with plastic wrap. Insert into Ziploc bag and squeeze out any air inside the bag. Label and date. Freeze for up to 3 months.

3. When ready to use, thaw out the bacon in the fridge or defrost in the microwave.
