PrintFor an Edible Container, Try Bacon Bowls
Megan of Not Martha made these useful bacon cups by baking woven bacon strips around the bottom of a muffin pan. Guaranteed to be delicious and increase the unhealthiness of anything you put in it!

This? Is awesome. You know what really needs to be in there? Cheddar cheesy mashed potatoes. Oh my god.

Of course you do know that the inevitable bacon mac served in a bacon bowl would have to be served on a BACON MAT.

BAY-CON! Bacon, bacon, bacon! (why do I always feel like that hyper dog on the beggin' strips commercial when I see bacon?)
Now sprinkle the bacon with cayenne, brown sugar, and cinnamon before baking then add your salad or whatever - "Oh food glorious food...."

oh, wow.... this reminds me of an old Jamie Oliver recipe I tried once where he put prosciutto over goat cheese and baked it. divine!

Megan of _Not_Martha_ had one terrific idea. This is so obvious, but bacon bowls would be great filled with scrambled eggs topped with [insert your favorite melted cheese] and chives. Might try that this weekend.

nice pictures...*drewl*
I've tried something similar from Micheal Smith but filled it with alternating layers of shaved potatoes and aged cheddar flipped upside down and slowly baked with a weight OMG a total guest impresser!

OMG - even ice cream would taste delicious in that! My imagination is going stark raving wild!

I love bacon, but that is a little insane. More bacon than I eat in a week.

Anything in a bacon bowl would be great... Because everything else is just a delivery system for the bacon.

It's like I've been living in Plato's Cave, and am only now emerging into the fatty, salty, crispy light of fully-realized Food Bowl-ness.

we used to make bologna bowls - microwave bologna on a plate until the edges curl up to form a bowl - as kids....but i think these bacon cups sound way better

I saw this one on Not Martha, too. Talk about creativity meeting genius! :)

I actually have an appliance which I received as a gift, about the size of a Forman Grill, that makes four pastry cups/shells at a time. I made potato baskets a couple times, but it's way too much trouble to use for the space it takes up, so I stashed it away years ago.
I think I'll dig it out?

OMG!!! That is brilliant! Bring on the bacon bowls!
