2. Roll each slice into a curl and fasten with a wooden toothpick.
3. Cook until crisp and brown in hot bacon fat, deep enough to cover the curls of bacon.
4. Drain on brown paper and remove toothpicks.

Note: 4 small cooked potatoes cut in pieces or 1 cup cooked macaroni or 1 small can asparagus cut in pieces may be used instead of mushrooms.
