Notes
*Approximate Cost: CAD $1.01
*Cost Comparison: For a 100g package of real bacon bits our cost would be CAD $5.49 – $6.49. 100g of dry packed sun-dried tomatoes costs us CAD $3.52. Adding 1 ½ tsp tamari and ¾ tsp liquid smoke to get the flavour brings the cost to CAD $3.68. That’s a savings of at least CAD $1.81.
*Oil packed sun-dried tomatoes have a softer texture but they can certainly work. Remove them from the oil and let the excess drip off. You can place them in the oven to crisp up if you desire, just watch them closely so they don’t burn. Season them according to the recipe above.
