Two baking sheets yields 12-14 roll-ups, and they last for up to 4 months, so it's a worth-wile weekend project.

This week I walked into Meadow Brook Egg Company and walked out with a twelve-pound box of premier restaurant quality bacon. I’ve been dreaming about trying Megan’s famous bacon cups since Shane passed along the link last spring. Megan creatively made her cups in the oven using upside down muffin pans covered in foil. While they turned out lovely, Megan reported some smoking and fat burning by using the oven so I decided to see if I could make them 100% in the microwave. And as a tip of the hat to Shane’s 2007 Mac and Cheese Cooking Championship victory, I filled the cups with mac and cheese. Savory Potato Salad Recipe.
