Hormel Natural Choice Fully Cooked Bacon, Original 2.52 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Worth the money and time ⏲️ getting them. Quick and easy 😌 quality and tasty bacon 🥓 😋 for fast bacon 🥓 it's the best. Bacon 🥓 stripes 😋 aren't always perfect 😋 but who cares as long as the bacon tastes like bacon 😋

Due to multiple medical issues, making food for myself is a bit of a chore. Posed a bit of a problem when I was diagnosed with PCOS and my doctors answer for it was putting me on a modified Keto diet. I was eating a lot of bacon baked in the oven (because I can't stand for too long) and it became annoying waiting 40 minutes for bacon to crisp up. This stuff is done and on my plate in under a minute. So easy.I also have chronic migraines so have to buy nitrate/nitrite free as it seems to be one of my triggers.So long story short this is an affordable, quick, nitrite/nitrate free bacon. Also tastes amazing. Not quite as good as Hormel's fresh bacon, but I mean it's microwave bacon so /shrug. As far as microwave bacon goes this stuff is *chefs kiss*

I bought one every month bacon is always good to have and it tastes fresh not like microwavable cafeteria food

As with all precooked and packaged bacon, the slices are thin. Thinner than any I've bought and cooked myself and that's been the case across the board, not specific to this particular brand or style. That is why the nutrition label serving size is 2 slices, so be aware if you are comparing for value.One of the packs out of the many I received was compromised and I had to toss it. If you are extremely concerned with that, you may want to open each box, inspect the contents in it's plastic shrink wrap for good color, and then store it.Overall I really like having delicious, convenient protein on hand and this bacon definitely covers those bases.

This stuff makes my life SO much easier (and tastier).I'm currently living as an "independent resident" in an assisted living facility (I get housekeeping, laundry, and meals, but no medical supervision) due to some recent physical challenges (let's just say that late 2020 and early 2021 were not kind). While meals are provided, I prefer to cook for myself while I'm still able to do so. Although my apartment is nice, what they euphemistically call a "kitchenette" is really just a 2-burner electric cooktop, a microwave, and a decent-sized refrigerator with zero counter space. This makes cooking for myself a little tricky.I tend to look for shortcuts wherever I can, but I still want things to be reasonably tasty and not totally "junk." I use this precooked bacon a LOT. It crisps up fine in the microwave, and I use it on sandwiches, crumbled into salads, in breakfast burritos, etc. The cost is actually considerably lower than my local supermarket (by about 20-25%), and I can store the packages in the closet (cool temp, no direct light) or if needed, in the freezer.Will continue to purchase as long as Amazon carries it at a reasonable price point.

Taste & texture is pretty good (I micro for 1 minute). There's not very much for the high cost but considering they don't require refrigeration until the package is opened, it is still a bargain to me.

at a MINIMUM, this costs .41/slice. the other pre cooked deal is .36/slice(72). here is the difference. at .41, each slice is longer, some by twice as much. and wider, again, some by 2x. and thicker, at least 2x. so, for .05/slice more, you get a LOT more bacon. then, each packet has 9-11 slices( for comparison, i used 9), not one huge package of 72. so, they are a lot easier to handle. they are WAY less greasy than the 72, which i had to repackage in several zip bags after opening, then freeze for later use. then, they are perfectly formed, nice long, flat pieces, and cooked a lot better(i always recook them to a crisp, and these crisp up a lot easier). the 72 pack has a lot of deformed slices, and most are not flat. also, depending on how they are packed for delivery, the 72 gets stuffed in our mailbox, so all the pieces end up squashed at one end, add in the heat of the day, and it is a mess. we have also tried pre cooked target, kroger, and smithfield, and all of them are smaller and much thinner.

It will keep in the box for a long time. But I suggest that you don't eat it that way. Cutting into bits and using it in salads or potatoes works really well but it's best feature is that you can cook it in a fry pan and use it with eggs or meat or anything else and it is delicious. It's thin, can be crispy and you can use it for so many things without the hassel of getting hit by spitting or the drama of having to figure out something to do with the grease. Kids love it.
