'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.

Wonderful bacon that doesn't shrink like others
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a coupon for a free package of Black Label original bacon. We cooked it in the microwave side-by-side another famous brand; the Black Label is the longer pieces. The other brand wasn't a fresh package so that explains the difference in color. This brand took longer to cook, which was fine, we had to remove the other brand to avoid overcooking those pieces. Once cooked the pieces were still larger than the other brand and a bit sweeter. I always thought all regular bacon tasted the same. Nope, this one has a bit of a sweet taste. I really enjoyed it. I would buy it again.

Classic bacon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a thicker cut than your usual bacon. Very good tasting bacon. The quality is very good. There are not many companies out there that do bacon as well as this. I have also purchased other flavors and they have been fantastic in the past. This product was received for free from Bzz Agent.

This product is now a permanent staple in my kitchen.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Hormel company, through the BZZ agent program, I received a free sample of Hormel Black Label Original bacon in exchange for this product review. I chose this Hormel product at my local retail grocer where the selection was highly varied with other flavors. Upon opening the product, I first noticed the evenly sliced bacon appeared very fresh and appealing. This immediately made me want to try a new cooking method for my household bacon use. I prepared a baking sheet with a drain rack and laid the slices out for oven baking. At a temperature of 350°, until desired doneness occurs, I cooked the bacon for approximately 15 minutes. The Hormel Black Label bacon baked beautifully with each slice remaining lengthy, crisp and delicious! The Hormel bacon made wonderful, easy to eat protein snack and we will definitely be purchasing this delicious product again. It's our new favorite stand alone protein snack!

The PERFECT bacon for a BLT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd really been craving a blt and this worked perfectly. The perfect amount of meaty and crispy. I cook a lot and would definitely buy this product again. I think it would work well with a creamy pasta too.

Tasty, Crispy and Salty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hormel Black Label Original Bacon cooks up nicely with a good balance of crispness and chewiness. The slices have a satisfying texture and add plenty of flavor to breakfast sandwiches, burgers, or just on their own. My only complaint is that it's definitely saltier than other bacon brands I have tried. Overall, it's a tasty bacon brand that I would buy again.

Great bacon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bacon is so good, it cooked up nicely, beautifully cut, flavoring was perfection. My kids wasted no time devouring. The black label is by far more superior in taste, texture, quality and price point!

I would definitely purchase this product again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bacon was a nice thick cut and the flavor was just delightful! Not too much fat but enough for bacon. I would definitely buy this brand and this type of bacon again in the future. It was loaded with flavor and cooked quite nicely.

Will Buy Everytime
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hormel Black label original bacon is a must in our home. Bacon is a staple in our breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We end up having it with eggs, on BLTS, or an additive for cooking dinner with added flavor. The bacon is easy to cook sliced in the pan, diced with seasonings, or in the air fryer. It's a good quality bacon that doesn't tear when you pull it apart. It is well flavored and tastes delicious.

Good quality bacon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quality of the meat was good. Flavor was great. I got the applewood smoked flavor. Cooked up well in the oven, which is my preferred way yo cook bacon. Price without coupon or being on sale was kinda expensive.

Hormel Bacon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love hormel bacon. It's easy to cook and use for meal prep for the week. We bake the whole package at once and save for the week to crumble on salads, sandwiches and potatoes. Easy to add flavor to meals with a busy schedule.

The best Sunday breakfast ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a working person who works Monday to Friday and have weekends off rarely, I usually have a good breakfast in Sunday's, but Sunday breakfast always have to have bacon on the menu. I've tried many bacons in my life and hormels bacon seems to surpass every bacon I've had in my life for Sunday breakfast. I will continue to use this brand till they make a new cut of bacon

Best Tasting Bacon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried Hormel Black Label applewood bacon for the first time. My family loved the rich flavor and that the pieces stayed true to size and had a lot of meat on them. I loved the Applewood flavor and will be purchasing this again. It was worth the price.

We liked it as a family
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Today depending on the type and kind of bacon you buy you might or might not get a very good batch. We buy all kinds of different ones when on sale but i tell you typically with Hormel you know what you are going to get every time. We tried this particular kind as part of promotion but we were excited to learn we got a good quality bacon. Kids and wife approved.

A definite repurchase!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bacon was so good. I got the thick cut which was excellent for BLTs. I found that it didn't get as crispy as I like it and I cooked it the same way I always cook bacon. But that could be because it was thick cut. That was not a deal breaker though, the smoky flavor was so good, perfect for sandwiches. I will be repurchasing this bacon for sure. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
