Best thick-cut bacon around

This is not only a great value, but it is legitimately our favorite bacon. I used to get whatever thick-cut I could find from Kroger or Aldi, but this offers much more for the price. Then o tried some in my ButcherBox thinking it would be superior, but we couldn’t wait to finish that pack so that we could go back to our Members Mark thick cut!

Excellent quality at a reasonable price that...

This product has been consistently excellent quality. We have always made a great impression for our diners! The price is reasonable and per serving it’s easier that managing thin cut bacon. Usually we pan it on parchment and cook with a convection oven. Strips are consistent providing consistent cook times!

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.

Missing Favorites

Love this bacon. Had a B&B when younger and used this bacon all the time. Then couldn't get it for a while. Then the last time I shopped at Sam's it was there, Thanks for bringing it back. Now if you would just get the bags of frozen pasta salad, the Krueazst muffin mix, and the large chicken pot pie back I would be so happy.

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.

Inconsistent slices

I opened a package of this bacon tonight to use in a BLT salad. The first slice was almost as thick as a thin-cut pork chop, and the rest of the slices were so thin they fell apart as I pulled them out of the package. I baked the bacon and it cooked unevenly - some pieces were done way before others, due to the inconsistent thickness of the bacon. So disappointing.

Best qualify bacon I've purchased

This is the best quality bacon I've purchased. I would not let the large quantity stop you from buying it because you can always divide it and put it quality storage bags. We use our vacuum sealer, which is great because it will keep the bacon fresh for weeks without having to freeze it.

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.

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.
