A list of benefits, from a long-time user:
* Readily available leftovers WILL keep you out of fast food joints. (Buy one for this reason alone.)
* COOK in bulk. On your time! (Cooking 10 lbs of meat at on a Sunday afternoon is WAAAAAY more efficient than cooking 2 lbs a night over 5 nights! If you work outside the home, or have kids, and your time is limited… this is a game-changer.)
* Have VARIETY in your leftover selection. (Craving Salmon? Maybe a bbq'd pork-chop? Breakfast casserole? Freaking SOUP!?!? Grab it from the freezer and go! Once you get in the habit of saving ALL leftovers, you'll have a pretty cool variety of already-prepared food at your fingertips. HAVING to eat the same thing you ate last night, is borrrrr-iiiing. Eating it when you're actually craving it again never gets old.)
* PURCHASE food in bulk and cook it later. (Bulk foods are cheaper. And, if you hunt or fish, saving your harvest is easy.)
* Keep perishable foods longer. (FRESH guacamole you made 5 days ago will blow your mind!)
* Portion Control is SO easy (Use a cheap digital scale if you’re OCD.)
* Vacuum-sealed leftovers are SO much tastier than foil-wrapped, plastic-wrapped or tupperware'd. (This should be higher on the list.)
* Commercial bags are STUPID cheap. (Literally 1,000 bags for 50 bucks. That's 5 CENTS a bag!!! The rolls of crappy bag material is where the consumer-grade sealers get expensive.)
* NO tupperware-type containers to clean or store! (If there’s no kitchen sink handy at the office, or if office fridge space is limited, this is GOLD.)
* Marinade in a fraction of the time.
* Two words: Sous vide!
* And lastly, yes... you can vacuum-seal liquids (in a commercial, chamber-type vacuum).
Vacmaster (I have the VP215) or VacPak-it are two good brands. Use a cheap Foodsaver if you can't afford the others... but if you can, DO! If you incorporate a vacuum sealer into your normal routine, the commercial route WILL pay for itself pretty quickly.

The recipe lists chorizo as a possible substitute.
uncooked, correct?
Yes, that's correct! Weight of meat in recipes always refers to pre-cooked unless otherwise specified.
The recipe as written makes 4 servings. If you made 12 "cupcakes", then a serving is 3. If you scaled the recipe to make 6 servings then yes, a serving would be 2.

Es muy fasil; para hacer una taza de crema solo mezcla 2/3 taza de leche completa (no dietética, reducida en grasa, etc) con 1/3 taza de mantequilla sin sal derretida. Chachin!💥 ahí tienes tu crema lista para esta receta. Yo hice esta receta anoche y WOW, salió deliciosa como de foto de Instagram 🙀😻🤤. Que pena que no se puedan dejar fotos de comentario que te enviaba la foto.
Buena suerte! 🙋🏻♀️

We do not recommend macro calculators. They can't know what you need. Some day you may need more to eat than others and that's OK. Yes, you can make the spinach in the bacon grease.
This recipe as written does make four servings. If you set your shopping list for one person, then adjust the serving size on this dish to 2. This will give you 1 dinner + 1 lunch if that's how you have it set on your meal plan. If you adjusted your shopping list for 2 people, then follow this as written for 4 servings.
Yes, double cream is a great equivalent to heavy/heavy whipping cream.
Most recipes hold in the freezer for 2-3 months.
1/2 cup dairy to 10 eggs next time since the middle took 4ever to cook- completely liquid while the sides were nearly done:(
otherwise, great way to clean out my fridge!!
That's going to be up to your personal preference based on how much fat rendered out from the bacon. If you want to drain some of the grease out, that's definitely OK!
You can substitute any protein you prefer. Chicken often works well.
