My 96 yr old grandmama & I love this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My grandmother got me to try black label bacon about a year ago and wow it is delicious! Our favorite bacon ever! I love that they have the low sodium option as well, but the original thick cut is our go-to. Highly recommend...you won't be disappointed!

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.

Salty Bacon

I was left to choose this brand because the wright bacon was all sold out due to hoarding on my last trip. It's not bad as far as bacon goes but it's not as thick as wright bacon, nor is it as tasty. It's very salty in comparison. When wright is back in stock I will be returning to it.

Not Thick Bacon

I’ve been buying this bacon for a couple years now. I’ll buy it and separate it and vacuum seal it. The last several times I have bought it the slices have been so thin that when you cook it you take one bite out of it in the whole piece of bacon falls apart it used to truly be thick cut but now it is not it’s like buying regular bacon I won’t be purchasing this anymore.

waste of money

I want to start off by saying this review has NO reflection on the retailer. I bought 3 packages and they were nothing but fat! So bad I took pictures to send to the mfg. As in totally worthless to consume but perfect for topping off my bacon grease container. Been a Black Label fan for years. This is NOT Black Label quality!!!!

This black label bacon Is the only one tobuy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best bacon on the market now, because you can fry it or put it in the oven to cook either way when it's done it doesn't shrink and full of fat when you cook it, like all other brands do. Whether you make a BLT with it, biscuits or any other bacon inspired dish you will get a mouth full of bacon and yummy taste, and not just a humhaul flavored wonder where the bacon went dish. Thanks for Keeping that Hormel care! Black Label Original Thick Cut Bacon will always be in my shopping cart, the best!

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?)

3 lbs Is Not 3 Lbs!

I bought this thick cut bacon and am very disappointed with the bacon itself. It is extremely thin - paper thin - very fatty, and the slices are not uniformly cut. Some slices are in places almost twice as wide as others, with the extra being paper-thin fat. Most distressing is that I weighed my bacon to divide and freeze in three 1-lb packages. My bacon weighed 2 lbs, 10 oz - 6 ounces short. That’s a big difference! I know my scale is accurate because I routinely buy and weigh out ground beef and other food items for repackaging. I have never had such a shortage. Needless to say, I will not purchase this product in the future and most likely not any any product from this supplier.

Meh

For a brand name bacon these just didnt do it for me. They were on the thinner side and baking them in the oven just made them too crispy and basically wispy pieces of meat. The flavor also wasn't that good. Which was unfortunately because they were nicely priced.

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!
