Good bacon option

If you're old enough to recall buying bacon 20 or so years ago, you'll recall regular bacon being what they now sell as "thick cut". Frankly, I can't visualize how they can slice modern "regular" bacon as thin as they do. In my case I tried to find an option that wasn't crazy expensive, none are inexpensive, and that is good quality. Hormel Black Label, Thick Cut from Sam's is the closest I've come. Three pounds is a lot for a family of two. I usually cook it all on my outdoor griddle, then vacuum seal and freeze it. That system has worked well for us for years.

Delicious & Copious

So. Much. Bacon. My word. This lasted us a week of BLTs and an night of delightful breakfast. It was delicious and priced right. Flavor was smoky, cuts were just thick enough (not as thick as some, but perfectly sized for your average slice of bacon). I fully recommend it.

Black Label Thick Cut Bacon

We love this bacon. However, it is not sold at my local Sam's. I have to travel to another Sam's to purchase. Why did my local (Easley) store stop carrying this product?

This is an excellent choice.

We've tried several different bacons that Sam's has to offer and this one just seemed to have the best taste and the longest shelf life. We can make this last about three weeks.

Amazing bacon

This bacon is consistently delicious. Flavorful, thick, meaty. We buy this monthly. I wouldn't buy bacon anywhere else unless I was desperate.

Not the same as it was

I'll probably still buy this when I need it, but it's not the same as it was. The price of everything is so high now and the quality seems to be slipping. So we're paying more for less.

Too Much Water Content

Seems to be over 40% water content. We bake our bacon on racks in the oven. The most recent batch we bought shrank more than usual - almost half size after cooking. Still tasted good though.

There's a reason it's on sale

Awful bacon. No two pieces cut the same way and anything from so thin you could see through it to way too thick. If you are cutting it up into prices, I suppose it would work, but not for frying breakfast slices. I will not purchase it again, even at half price.

It used to taste so good; what happened to it.

The last two 3# packages of bacon we bought were not any good. We have been buying this bacon for several years. I do not know what happened to the taste of it, but we will not be buying it anymore. . It tasted awful. I just threw out the last of the last package.

Downsizing The Slicing

I was disappointed in the downsizing of the cuts of bacon by each slice. It is noticeably thinner. I will give it one more purchase to look for correction before I will look for another source for my bacon.
