273. BANANAS with BACON

makes six servings


12 slices bacon
6 bananas, peeled and split lengthwise
salt
pepper

Arrange the bacon in a baking dish. Place half a banana, flat side down, on each slice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes, basting twice. Remove carefully to warm plates.

NOTE: This combination makes an unusual and filling lunch when served with mashed potato cakes, nicely browned. Or it may be used as a garnish.
