It was recommended by a family member - the lazy cook one. It is very convenient and saves loads of time but at the expense of the amazing flavor that the uncooked Black Label bacon has. It just tastes okay. Also it is very thinly cut so you will have to use more slices than you are used to and you of course will not get any bacon grease for other uses. If you have the time and you really love bacon, cook you own. Also, it is cooked enough it doesn't work well to wrap other food with. Fast horderves are out.

Still the best deal in precooked bacon but don’t expect all of the pieces to look like the top level. Some of the pieces can be downright scrawny. These pieces will be in the middle layers where you can’t see them. They may be short, maybe half as long as normal or skinny; scrawny. The good news is the consistently sweet smoky flavor.

Not happy that the price keeps going up, but this is all we use. We freeze it and take a package out at a time. We only buy cooked bacon because it's convenient. We don't stock up quite like we used to, because the price is so high. We still love this. My hubby would prefer regular, but the greasy mess is too much for me.

We have been using this product for several years. After straying to a different brand a couple times, we always come back to Hormel. It keeps for months in the fridge and is very convenient. Recent price increases have caused a reduction in rations but we will probably continue to buy while it is available. Especially like the no-mess, no grease, easy clean-up.

I really do like this bacon, but over the past few years, it has gotten ridiculously expensive! Hence the 3 stars! Somethings I can justify the extra cost, this is not one of them, sadly. And I also end up having to cook it some more and most of the time, its still pretty raw! Not sure if that's to keep the weight up or what, but it used to come so you only had to heat it and it was PERFECT! And once I cook it, its like half the weight I paid for. So the convenience isn't what it used to be! Still tasty, just the cost is too much!

Our family has noticed the last two times we have purchased the bacon that the slices are smaller and have more fat on them. Not only has the cost gone up but the quality isn't the same. Instead of advertising it as 72 pieces they seem more like 36 pieces. I guess everyone is being hit in their wallet. Taste is fine.

Very good product and a good price

It’s great to have a big pak of deliciousness at a great value.

Good tasting, comes out crispy, like bacon should

It’s bacon, but faster. Microwave it for 10 seconds per slice or fry it in the pan. Delicious.
