Amazing bacon, absolutely delicious!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fried this bacon up for breakfast and it was out of this world! Tasted like it was super expensive and cooked in a five star diner! We will be buying this bacon again and again to have for our breakfast every morning. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

Delicious Bacon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bacon has an amazing smoky flavor and cooks up perfectly crispy. It has a great balance of meat and fat without being overly greasy or salty. The slices are a nice thickness, and the flavor is excellent for breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, or even adding to recipes. Definitely a quality bacon that I would purchase again. Highly recommend!

Will purchase again!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the thick cut version of this product! Comes with more than enough slices for multiple breakfasts. The thick cut makes it perfect for avocado toast or for a breakfast sandwich! Bacon is packed with flavor!

Solid bacon for brand name
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lately I am into more small batch bacon but sometime store bought is what I get. This bacon checked all the boxes good taste and did not shrink away to nothing like some store brands do. Recommend without hesitation.

Absolutely delicious! I'll buy it again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the product for free in exchange for writing this review. I purchased the original bacon and was a little worried that it would cook unevenly because the ends were so much thicker than the center, but it cooked perfectly. There was a picture of a recipe on the folder which I tried, and even THAT was delicious (a taco with guacamole, bacon, green onion, tomato, black beans and sour cream). It was a double win for me!

A winning bacon slice!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hormel has out done themselves with this bacon. It is absolutely delicious and crisps up to perfection. I made a BLT with this bacon, of course, ate a slice on its own after cooking it, and also cut it up in little bit to add to egg bites. Always tasted delicious and had a great texture. This will now be my go to bacon for the future.

Very good bacon. Nice flavor and thickness.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this bacon as part of a promotion. I usually buy store brand bacon due to cost, but I will say this was better than store brand bacon. It had a nice flavor, wasn't too fatty, and had the right thickness in each slice. I cooked it on my griddle and it went great. Nice and crispy.

Delicious Bacon!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Hormel Black Label Original Bacon in exchange for my honest review, and I can confidently say my whole family devoured it during Sunday breakfast! It was so flavorful and cooked up perfectly. Even my picky little ones were asking for more! One thing I really noticed compared to other bacon brands is how easy the slices were to separate. With other packages, I often struggle to pull the bacon apart in full strips without pieces breaking or sticking together. With this package, each slice came out easily, one strip at a time, which made breakfast prep so much easier. The flavor was delicious, and it has officially become a new family favorite in our house. We loved the Original so much that we already went out and bought the Applewood Thick Cut to try next! Safe to say, Hormel Black Label may just be our new go-to bacon brand!

Yum!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel like you can't go wrong with this brand of bacon. They have so many different cuts and flavors to fit everyone's needs. This isn't too fatty and cooks up nicely. It tastes very good with a nice flavor without tasting too smokey.

Get this if you want solid bacon without butcher prices.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to Hormel for aending over a coupon for me to try this bacon. You get a full one pound pack with roughly a dozen clean, regular cut slices. What I love is the ratio. Sometimes cheap bacon is pure white fat, but these strips actually have plenty of meat running through them. They could have been a little thicker but they were great. Bake them on a rimmed baking sheet at 400 degrees. They crisp up into perfect golden waves with zero curling mess. You get great hardwood smoke flavor, the salt level is spot on.

My favorite bacon!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hormel Original Bacon is my top favorite brand. First of all the package is 16 oz not 12 oz like other brands for the same price. The slices are consistent which means they all cook evenly. Excellent flavor!

Great tasting. Not too salty.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fat ratio was nice for an even cook. Not salty. Made breakfast burritos. I was able to get the crispiness i like without overcooking. Some brands are watery i feel and way too salty. I would recommend this brand.

My new favorite bacon!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] HORMEL Black Label Bacon is my new favorite bacon. It's a little pricey but I found it to be well worth the price. The quality in comparison to less expensive brands was over the top. Fried up juicy without very much grease. Made the best BLT!

Bacon That Makes the House Smell Amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a coupon to try Hormel Black Label Bacon, and I have to say… my house smells wonderful! That rich, savory aroma just smells like comfort. ❤️ I wrapped the bacon in lettuce with avocado and made my own version of a BLT. The crunch was so good, and the flavor had just the right amount of salt to balance the fresh lettuce and creamy avocado. A simple little meal, but oh so good! 🥓🥬🥑

Best bacon crisp
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of my favorite bacons to buy. It cooks up perfectly crispy without becoming too dry, and the flavor is really good. The slices have a nice thickness and cook evenly, whether I'm making it for breakfast or adding it to a sandwich. I also love that it has that classic smoky bacon flavor. Definitely something I would purchase again and recommend!

'Ol reliable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For grocery store bacon, Hormel continues to be a top choice. Acceptable amount of fat in the package. Rich, salty, and cooks up perfectly crispy. No sulfur taste thst many brands have. Very happy with quality.
