One who brings home the bacon (6)
I believe the answer is:
earner
'one who brings home the bacon' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for earner that I've seen before include "Something generating a good profit" , "One in employment" , "Employed person" , "Money-spinner" , "Something that makes a profit" .)
