I have three pounds (!) of sliced bacon. What should I do with it?
1) Cook a lot of it, crumble it, and freeze for later inclusion in whatever-all?
2) Freeze it as a block?
3) Get a lot of wax paper or parchment paper and separate the strips with that, then freeze, so that it can be cooked/used as needed?
4) Other??

I'd probably cook a batch of exactly as much as I can fit on my baking pan & parchment (oven bacon is so much easier), freezing that as some mix of individual separated slices (for quick microwaving as sandwich toppings) and bacon bits (proportioned depending on what you would use). The rest I'd portion out and freeze uncooked as
amaebi describes, to be made later.

I'd split it 50/50 and do options 1 and 3, although a bacon butty would probably feature as well.

I tend to get through a pound of bacon before it is likely to go bad in the fridge (low carb. I eat a lot of bacon), so I freeze it in one-pound blocks.
If you really only make a couple of slices a week or something, then freezing it in those portions makes a lot of sense.

That does mean I do have to CLEAN my toaster oven more often than most people would, mind.

But yeah. It's super handy. It's what I usually do.
