In my blog I have a great recipe for cabbage with just a little bacon. Something about the pork fat really elevates the cabbage into rich, savory territory. mmmmm

Onepercent has a lot of great feedback,and I totally agree on the black pepper suggestion.
While I do like bacon from the stove top, I find that baking it in the oven is much easier and less messy.
Just lay the strips over a cooling rack over a sheet pan. GL!

I have a great recipe in my blog for mac and cheese. I make two batches at once. It's GREAT reheated and makes a TON.

I have a fantastic recipe in my blog for my favorite make-ahead breakfast. English muffins with a great bacon, egg, cream cheese mix. Yum.
You can make them ahead and bake them on the day of. Take them out the night before, and they only need around 15 minutes in the oven. They have everything you want in breakfas, are super easy, and everybody loves them!

here's a link, but the post is really long so I've included the important stuff here.

Mom's super delicious breakfast thingies

preheat oven to 350

mix

1 lb. bacon, baked, cooled, and crumbled (you can fry it, I just find baking a million times easier)

1 pkg. softened cream cheese
8 oz. sour cream
2 tbsp. mayonnaise
12 hard-boiled eggs
2 sliced green onions
1 tsp. garlic salt

Mix together. Pile atop sliced English muffins. Top with shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

Freeze here. Once you've got them at room temperature, bake at 350 for around 15 minutes, or until everything is melty, gooey, and perfect.

These are so easy to take with you, too!
Good luck, and happy turkey day!
