Bacon is one of those ingredients that can make a basic school lunch feel completely different. These school lunch ideas with bacon include wraps, sandwiches, bentos, salads, and warm lunches that are filling, easy to pack, and especially good for kids and teens with bigger appetites.
Lunches with Bacon for Kids & Teens
My daughter has always loved bacon, so I've packed it in plenty of her school lunches over the years. If I already have cooked bacon in the fridge, these ideas come together fast, and if I don't, I can cook bacon in the microwave in about two minutes. It’s a great way to add flavor to a simple sandwich, wrap, salad, or bento-style lunch.

Laura’s Lunch Packing Tips
Cook a batch of bacon and refrigerate it so you can add a few slices to sandwiches, wraps, bentos, and salads throughout the week. If you need it quickly, you can also cook bacon in the microwave in about two minutes.
If you like your bacon crispy, try to keep it away from juicy tomatoes, salad dressing, and other wet ingredients until packing or serving. This helps it stay crisp longer in the lunchbox. You can also chop it into bacon bits; those hold up their shape well.
