Good Bacon

I really like this bacon. It makes up a batch and I freeze it with it almost cooked all the way. When we take it out of the freezer, we place in microwave and finish the cooking to get crispy.

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.

    Pathetic excuse

    Pathetic excuse. I bought that cut because I want to take kat you can't even take this out of the package of falls apart. And then in the pan it turns into something that looks more like bacon bits

    The BEST bacon ever!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is all my mom ever bought. And it is what I buy when grocery shopping. You can trust the Hormel name.

    Bacon shrunk down to nothing

    I cooked a batch of bacon and it all shrunk down do to nothing. I thought spending a little more on Hormel would make a difference but it actually is worse than Kroger brand thick cut bacon. Think I'll stick with the Kroger brand thick cut bacon.

    Excellent and convenient

    I think the poor reviews come from people who don't know how to prepare pre-cooked bacon. This is pretty much a perfect answer to what bacon lovers want and need. Thank you Homel.

    Thick cut but cooks skinny

    This bacon is thick cut, but it shrinks to skinny strips (width wise). The quality is good, because it is not all fat like some bacon, but it may not seem like a lot when done. So it just depends on what you are serving it with.

    I love this product!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bacon goes great with anything. Mac and cheese...add this bacon. Ice cream sundae...add this bacon. Bacon burger. Loaded bacon cheese fries. Even in your mixed greens.

    Too much grease...

    If this bacon were pre-cooked, I'd give it 5 stars. But as it is, many of us nowadays don't want the excess grease draining when we cook it. It would be great if this bacon were offered pre-cooked!

    Saly & full of water

    This cooked up more like ham than bacon. Nothing crisp because I realized there was a great deal of water in the fry pan instead of bacon grease. Will not buy again.

    Do not recommend

    The first quarter of the package was fine and then the rest that was hidden behind was all fat with half an inch of meat on the top. HORRIBLE QUALITY CONTROL. First and last time I will buy this brand.

    Watery and flavorless

    We bought this because Wright's bacon was out of stock. Sadly it turned out to be the worst bacon we've ever purchased. It's very watery (who knew bacon could be watery?!) and has very little flavor. Will not buy again.

    Yes because i already do

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Black label bacon is simply the best bar none we have used it for yrs. It's not just for breakfast we use it in countless ways i cant even count them all.
