We always have a 1-pound ziplock bag of bacon bits from Costco in the freezer.I do like the sound of that. I haven't had toasted cheese sandwiches in a long time probably years. A light case of Type 2 Diabetes so I watch what I eat. I'm also cheap so I made some out of Swiss cheese with some bacon bits added. Very tasty! I also made some using Velveeta slices, once again was good and then some with Cheese Whiz. I haven't had Cheese Whiz since the 70's. A bit salty but still tastes the same to me. I may never make them again but I did enjoy having them again.

I thought about making my sandwich with those, but since I could cook 3 strips of bacon in the microwave while I was grilling the bread & cheese in a skillet on the stove, I decided it was worth the little bit of extra effort. But the bacon bits are always a good alternative, just not quite as satisfying as full strips of bacon.
I like to whip up an egg & bacon "patty" with a couple of eggs and a handful of those bacon bits, and make it into a sandwich with a couple toasted bread slices and a slice of American cheese. Makes a great breakfast sandwich.
I don't have one of those for breakfast as often as I used to. My cholesterol numbers were just a bit on the high side when I had my annual physical in January.
