Best value for taste.

Great choice when stocking up on bacon. Tastes great and easy to separate for multiple servings. Hormel is great tasting for quick meals. Fries up crispy. Excellent value.

Poor quality control

This bacon is extremely inconsistent. The last batch I bought smelled distinctly of pig feces. It wasn't rotten; it had just taken on the flavor of how a pig farm smells

Salty bacon

Bought two three pound packages at my local Sams store in Springfield Il. to add a little extra smoke to it in my smoker for the holidays. Decided to try some of it way to salty! Been trying to wash it in some water prior to cooking it seems to help a little but still very disappointed.

Thick and Juicy Black Label Bacon

Bacon Lovers, like myself, will truly lust over this fat pack of thickly cut, Black Label bacon. I don't want to get too crazy on here, but it is so fresh and thick, I wanted to cook it all at once. Sams Club sells this for an amazing price. This is also great for having guest over for the weekend! Cook it in the morning, and munch on it all day!

NOT THICK CUT

When we purchased this Bacon we thought we were getting a THICK CUT as it says on package NO I don't think it could be cut any thinner. It was ok to cook up as scraps for salads but for a BLT or Breakfast NO way too thin I didn't want to chance it on the grill as I usually cook Bacon

Hormel bacon Disaster

I bought this yesterday and I tried to cook it in the microwave just like it said on the box and the first slide of bacon was a terrible disaster. Now I am trying my George former grill and it's not that bad. You could never get the picture on the box. This is not my first encounter with this situation with you bacon.

Black Label Thick Cut

Been getting the Smithfield bacon 3packs, but they are now sliced so thin that we had to find an alternative. The “Black Label Thick Cut” was that alternative. It's not your traditional thick cut thickness, but more like a medium cut, which is way thicker than the Smithfield. It's also has better distribution of meat to fat than other bacons.

Great if you want really, really thick bacon

It is very thick bacon. It also has a lot of fat and cooks down a lot. Taste is great. What bacon doesn't taste great? But I had a house full of kids and since this was so thick there were fewer pieces of bacon to go around. Probably go for something just a little less thick next time.

I wanted to love.

I did not like this bacon. It cooked either too raw or too burnt. I couldnt find a perfect medium for it. Maybe its me. Maybe I suck. But I've cooked other bacon and it cooked evenly perfectly. This bacon did not cook evenly for me. Very sad because its such a great deal!!!!

More meat with less fat

I've always been a Wright's bacon fan, but it now has so much fat and moisture that it just isn't good anymore in my opinion. So, I tried the Hormel Black Label. Although it is not as thick as Wright's, it has much more actual meat and cooks evenly. It also freezes well. Since there are only 2 of us, I freeze about 10 slices per package. It has not affected the taste or texture. My husband immediately noticed the difference and said it tasted much better.
