Bacon Lovers Bacon

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] HORMEL BLACK LABEL Origial Thick Cut Bacon is packed full of flavor & great for things like BLT's. Thick cut is also easier to cook evenly in my opinion, whether you cook it In a pan or in the oven, it cooks evenly every time. I like to use HORMEL BLACK LABEL Origial Thick Cut Bacon In recipes that call for bacon because thick cut makes it so you can actually taste & savor the bacon flavor. This is the only bacon I buy because the cut & flavor are always good. 5 STARS all around for HORMEL BLACK LABEL Origial Thick Cut Bacon & I recommend this to everyone loooking for high quality, great tasting bacon.

Deceiving

I bought this thinking it would be better than the bacon I usually buy. I was wrong. I picked a pack that seemed like it was more meat than fat. I was disappointed when I saw 90% of the bacon strip was fat. Used it for pinto beans instead. Won't buy again.

I have bought this bacon multiple times because it's so good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hello, I buy Hormel's thick cut bacon nearly every time I buy bacon, it's always top quality and I never have issues with it being slimy or not fresh tasting like I have experienced with other brands.

Wonderful! I love my Black Label

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay so I buy bacon, lots of bacon! Have been using a different brand for some time now center cut name brand but lately its not been so great frying in to nothing! We had Thanksgiving at our daughters and she had a 3lb pkg of Hormel Black Label I cooked for everyone for breakfast it was awesome!!! I had used Hormel Black Label off and on for 35 plus years, I dont know why I hadnt been buying it instead of the center cut..but I found that Black Label 3 lb pkg today and I am back to being a loyal Hormel customer, I even found Hormel Ham 2pkg that I also bought and am hoping it is of the same fine quality as my Hormel bacon!!

Read review. Bring back Wright's bacon.

Bought this bacon since Sam's NO LONGER handles the Wright's Bacon. When we opened it, there was quite a bit of water in the package which came out of the bacon. We tried to divide it into 4 packages using our seal a meal. Couldn't seal bags because of the water which was being sucked out of the bacon by the vacuum. Used freezer bags instead. Also BACON WAS VERY SALTY. Wife will use it when she needs bacon for cooking. Will not buy this again!

I'd absolutely continue to purchase

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this bacon for so many things. Blt sandwiches, sauteed with summer vegetables, wrapped around stuffed jalapenos, crumbled in cold salads, with all my breakfast foods, etc.... I love the Low Sodium and it's always meaty and fresh tasting. Good quality bacon!

Disappointed

I purchased two packages of Hormel Black Label original. Both packages were a disappointment. The cut of bacon varied from very thin to thick. Some of the strips were in pieces and some were whole. The shrinkage was more prevalent in this brand than others I have bought. The flavor was good though. But I won't be buying this product again.

Poor quality

I bought this bacon on a regular basis in the past and it was always excellent. Within the last couple of months when I would purchase it, 2 packages were spoiled and another package had freezer burn. I no longer purchase this bacon due to it being a risk.

Quit messing with the product....

Have bought Bacon Hormel forever....No more... I bought the thick cut 3 pound size,it is tough and tried to Microwave, then frying...frying didn't work,too much water added to bacon for it to fry ...I didn't even know Bacon could be tough,no flavor....Come on Sam's and Hormel....First I bough the Regular Bacon,then I bought th 72 slice microwave, then I found the 36 thicker sliced microwave...yeah,woo hoo...that is what we wanted,always consistent....until it was replaced with of course ...Members Mark,no more Hormel.....Horrible! They have done this for several years....No no it doesn't work,quality and flavor are lacking(Of course more profit margin)...just sick of the quality! I started realizing this several years,ago when they replaced Pierre Hamburgers to Members Mark(tried only once)they weren't fit to eat! So many things....

One because you have to do one to write a review.

I do" pickup" groceries because of our age. I have, in the past, ordered this bacon. It was OK. This time, it was thick swaths of fat with narrow streaks of meat. I immediately called to complain.I was informed, to return,I needed to take into store.Why do they think I was picking up? I took pictures but can't download to review. ( Did I mention I'm old?)Don't buy! figure out how to get off phone to review,( did I mention I'm old?)
