AOL Food has a slideshow at their site, with ideas on how to add bacon to, well... pretty much everything. No, not your typical breafast dishes. That's too obvious. We're talking about putting bacon on hot apple pie, in oatmeal, in an ice cream sundae, and in chocolate chip cookies. Someone is even trying to get the smoky flavor of bacon inside a glass of whiskey.
A lot of these ideas are too out there for me, but I think I'd try bacon in popcorn.

There exists no food that cannot be improved by the addition of bacon or chocolate. If a food would not taste good with added bacon, then it will taste good with added chocolate. If a food will not taste good with added chocolate, then it will taste good with added bacon. Some foods (pretzels come to mind) would be improved either by being wrapped in bacon or dipped in chocolate.

To do this, lay bacon out on a cooling rack that is set in a sheet pan, and put it into a cold oven that you then set to 400˚. The fat will render out onto the sheet pan, and the bacon will crisp up on the rack. This should take 10-15 minutes, depending on how fast your oven heats up.

The bacon ice cream was INSANE - especially with the addition of maple sugar and bourbon-soaked pecans. If I were to make it again, I'd consider adding some of the smoked salt I made and stockpiled this summer.
Also - mixing 1 part bacon salt to 3-4 parts kosher salt adds a really special somethin' to the rim of a margarita glass.
And Berkana - I totally agree w/ your bacon baking method, and before I got a cooling rack, I used to crumple up aluminum foil so the grease would have little channes into which to drain.
If anyone else has any more bacon tips or weird recipes, I'm your guinea pig.
And if you're ever at the Double Down in Las Vegas, try the bacon-tini and thank me later.
