Tops for convenience and good flavor

I went through a few bags this summer making baked beans-delish!. I usually transfer the bag to a vacuum seal container to use with grits, baked beans, egg bites, & veggies. It's not the same as just cooked crispy bacon but comes in tops for convenience, always ready, no mess to clean on the stove, and good flavor.

Member's Mark Real Crumbled Bacon is delicious!

I love the flavor of Member's Mark Real Crumbled Bacon and use it in many different dishes. However, I can't give it 5 stars because of the amount of gristle pieces I encounter. It's actually not a whole lot and many people don't mind it and some even enjoy crunching gristle. I'm not one of them. But yet, I still but it because it's delicious. I just try to cook it long enough to soften any gristle pieces.

Fatty and undercooked

Sam's used to carry Hormel bacon bits, which are delicious and were a staple in our kitchen for 20+ years. Not long ago they stopped carrying Hormel and offered their house brand. Ugh. These are fatty, undercooked, just all around gross. In order to use them as intended (i.e. a flavor accent or topping), I literally had to dump them in a pan and cook them more to make them edible. I buy bacon bits to save the step of cooking bacon, so, by the measure of this effort, I may as well fry up a pound of regular bacon and crumble it up myself. This product is absolutely terrible and a real disappointment. I find Member's Mark products to be hit and miss at best, and this is a big miss. I can't overstate how disgusting these bacon bits are.

Usually great but dud this time

I only get to shop at Sam's club once a month being on a fixed income. Last month (October 2024) I bought a bag of bacon crumbles because the bag we had in the fridge was discovered by the hungry teenager and ate. So I bought a new bag. Well we didn't get to open it until today (November 27th 2024) and the whole bag of bacon bits is mold. Green and white mold. I don't know what happened to get moldy. The store doesn't refrigerate the bacon so I don't until it's open.. so why would this bag be moldy if we haven't opened it until today? Never have had this problem in the past.

WORST PRODUCT ever chosen by Member's Mark

Member's Mark products are usually equal to and sometimes even better than the brand name. This is not true with the bacon crumbles. PLEASE go back to HORMEL. This product is chewy, full of gristle that is not tasty, and many of the pieces are hard and not edible...

Watch out for bones!

Ive always purchased these bacon bits because they're real bacon and so handy. My past 2 bags purchased, I have had issues with bone fragments in them. And, no, it isn't hard pieces of bacon. Its sharp, pointed bone fragments. Please be cautious if you are eating these. I can not recommend these until you have better quality control of this product. I will not be purchasing any more for this reason.

Bring back the Old Bacon Crubles.

In the past I had a Sam's Club membership almost exclusively to have the old lean bacon crumbles. It was so much better than anything else I could buy anywhere else-- I think it was Hormel. Lean Picnic Bacon was the secret (even made me look up "picnic bacon"). Now there is little point to having a membership since this fatty disgusting mess is the same quality as everywhere else.

bring back the Hormel brand

I would not recommend this to a friend. The package I bought had so much fat I needed to cook them before I could use them. I thought it might just be a my experience but walked into a conversation where two or three people were talking about how bad they were. I could only agree. I’m not planning to buy them again. Please bring back the Hormel Brand. They were more expensive but MUCH higher quality.

HORRIBLE!!!

I use real bacon bits quite often, but have never tried these before. I put them in potato soup and they were so gristly that it ruined the soup. The soup had to be thrown out and the Crumbled Bacon will be thrown out. In these Covid times it is not worth the price of them to go into the store to return them and possibly be exposed to Covid. I would highly recommend many Member's Mark items, but these are horrible. There is no way to give no stars.

NOT GOOD

I used in pasta salad, pasta dishes and even on a bacon cheeseburger.. These are awful. Chewy because once you open they have to go in the fridge but even after heating in a pan on the stove real quick these are just chewy and tastless and mostly small tiny bits. A few bigger pieces are mixed in with clumps of fat balls. I threw at least half the package away. I'm going back to Oscar Mayer
