The ingredients say to chop the bacon before sautéing it. The Method says to remove two slices after the bacon starts to brow. How is one to know how much chopped bacon is two slices? I suppose one could remove all the bacon and weigh it, reserving a third, and returning the other two thirds to the pot. Sounds like too much work and dirty dishes.
