Directions

Bacon needs to be fully cooked.

Skillet
Place bacon slices in single layer in unheated skillet. Cook over LOW to MEDIUM heat, turning occasionally, until brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.

Microwave
Directions were developed for 1000 watt and higher microwave ovens. Cooking in microwave ovens below 1000 watts will require additional time to reach proper temperature.
Place bacon slices between paper towels on paper plate or microwave-safe dish. Cook on HIGH:
2 slices for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes; 4 slices for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, until brown and crisp.

Oven
Place bacon in single layer in shallow baking pan. Bake at 400°F for 10 to 15 minutes until brown and crisp. No turning is necessary. Drain on paper towels.

For food safety, cook to an internal temperature of 165°F as measured with a food thermometer. Appliances may vary; adjust cooking time accordingly. Refrigerate or discard leftovers immediately.

    Strips of Fat

    There was no center cut meat on this item... it was just strips of fat with a little sliver of meat that was cut off the side... gross... just inedible... don't waste your money on this.

    worst bacon I ever had!!!!

    Usually cheaper bacon taste crispy and fatty with still a good flavor like bacon bits. Not this. It's rubbery and cooking well done just makes it rubbery and shard. No bacon flavor with a very oddly rubber texture.

    Not for me

    Too thin and tasteless. I don’t know who on here said this was pure salt, but I don’t know what’s going on with that person‘s taste buds. This definitely needs salt. It was the most unsalted bacon I have ever tasted.

    Breaks easily, poorly cut

    This is the worst cut bacon I’ve ever bought. The middle is so thin and poorly cut that it breaks in half. I won’t buy this again. Not sure what I expected when I was buying the cheapest on the shelf.

    I felt the bacon doesn’t crisp up well like other brands I’ve tried from Target. Maybe it was a package that’s is too much fat and not enough lean.

    Best out there

    We love this bacon in my house. The flavor is great and it crisps up real nice in air fryer! It’s always out of stock or limited stock at my store if that tells you anything. 50 cals for 2 slices of bacon? Always yes!
