Bacon bits are small, crispy pieces of cooked bacon that are often used as a topping or ingredient in various dishes. They add a savory flavor and crunchy texture to salads, baked potatoes, soups, and casseroles. Bacon bits can be made from real bacon or produced as a processed product, which is typically lower in fat and calories. These bits are popular in many cuisines and are available in both refrigerated and shelf-stable forms. They are commonly found in grocery stores and can be used to enhance the taste of dishes like caesar salad, macaroni and cheese, and pizza.
