The Clever Way To Make Bacon Fit In Your Sandwich Every Time

To help bacon better fit into a sandwich, slice it in half prior to cooking it. This way, instead of hanging over the sides, the strips will be in perfect sandwich-sized pieces.
After cooking, you can layer the smaller bacon strips with the other sandwich fillings without worrying about them poking out.
Cut the bacon while it's still raw so it slices evenly and fits into your skillet. Not only do the halves fit into a sandwich, but they also fit a smaller skillet and cook evenly.
You can also slice the bacon in half if you're cooking bacon in the oven. Cut the bacon into smaller pieces for sliders, mini sandwiches, or other smaller finger food dishes.
