 WAYS OF SERVING BACON. BREAKFAST MENU Fruit Cornmeal Muffins Broiled Bacon Latticed Potatoes Coffee
CHICKEN LIVERS WITH BACON - Clean the livers and cut each liver in six pieces. Wrap a thin slice of bacon around each piece and fasten with a small skewer. Put in a broiler, place over a dripping pan and bake in a hot oven until the bacon is crisp, turning once during the cooking.
MACARONI AND BACON - Boil short lengths of macaroni in salted water until they are tender. Drain and mix a little butter with them. This keeps them from sticking together. Put them in a buttered baking dish and pour over them some thick cream sauce and season with salt and paprika. Chop some freshly broiled crisp bacon and stir it into the macaroni, sprinkle the top with fine buttered crumbs and bake brown.
BACON AND CHEESE TOAST - In a sauce pan melt three tablespoonfuls of butter and stir in a tablespoonful and a half of flour. Then add three-quarters of a cupful of rich milk and stir until it thickens. In the meantime broil two slices of bacon for each person and make a slice of thin brown bread toast for each. When the cream sauce is thick and smooth add half a cupful of grated cheese and as soon as it is melted pour the mixture over the slices of toast. Put two slices of the bacon on each piece and serve at once.
