Surprisingly good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll be honest, I didn't have high expectations for pre-cooked/microwaved bacon, I probably wouldn't have bought it on my own without the free promo, but I was pleasantly surprised with this. It's better than a lot of 'fresh' bacon I've had at fast food places. It has the texture, the only thing it's missing is the flavor that comes from the grease of fresh bacon. BUT, that being said, no grease means no cleanup, and it didn't make my entire kitchen smell for the rest of the day. Definitely a good choice for a quick sandwich or omelet!

Breakfast made easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm always looking for a way to make breakfast quick and easy as the mom of a toddler and the Hormel fully cooked bacon saved the day! Very quick and easy to prepare plus my toddler ate her entire helping and asked for seconds! Definitely recommend!

SUPER Convenient and Comes Out Crispy - Yay!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy the rich and legitimately hickory-smoked flavor of this fully-cooked bacon, and the fact that, since it's pre-cooked, it's versatile and easy to include tasty bacon for so many uses, without the intimidating factor of frying bacon at home on my own. If I could wave a magic wand, I would only dial down the salt just a bit.

Quick Breakfast Favorite
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The package is easy to open and fits nicely in the fridge without taking up much space. It couldn't be much simpler to make since it goes straight into the microwave. The bacon comes out with a nice golden color and tastes smoky with just the right amount of salt. It stays fresh until I'm ready to use it, which is great for busy mornings. Compared to Oscar Mayer Fully Cooked Bacon, this has a fresher taste and crispier texture.

Crispy bacon from the microwave
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent a free sample in exchange for my honest review. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast and crisp this bacon came out of the microwave! It was so easy to prepare. Four slices of bacon come in a container that you place in the microwave. No messy grease! Best part, bacon is crispy!

Messy free Bacon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this bacon coupon for a review. I was able to find it on my local supermarket. The bacon itself was easy to cook in the microwave. It came out nice and crispy, it was not salty but it wasn't tasteless, I just wish it had a little bit of more flavor. Overall it was great not having to Clean up oil mess and it was easy to heat in the microwave. I would buy again for easy bacon to add to a burger or sandwich, for regular breakfast I would prefer the regular bacon.

Good bacon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star is because if the length it took to cook. I expected ir to be longer, however this bacon was sooooo good! I went back the next day to purchase an additional one. I know how long it will take to make the bacon! *I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.**

Very good semi premium bacon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hormel black label bacon was much better than I expected. It cooked well on the stovetop and tasted great, not to much fat or anything. Only improvment is it needed more crisp without burning.

Quick, easy, and delicious!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to Hormel, I recently got the opportunity to try HORMEL BLACK LABEL Fully Cooked Bacon for free through the BzzAgent sampling program. And after trying this product, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by it, and I really like it! The bacon strips were very easy to prepare, and I decided to make a BLT sandwich with them. As I ate my sandwich, I found that the bacon strips were flavorful, not too greasy, and had the right amount of saltiness to them. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product!

A Quick and Easy Ready Made Bacon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the opportunity to try out the Hormel Black Label Fully Cooked Original Bacon and here are my thoughts on it. I am frankly shocked that I haven't bought this before actually. It's already cooked so no greasy mess and it tastes just as if I had cooked it fresh myself from raw. You can eat it cold, straight from the package or warmed up slightly in the microwave or on a skillet. Yes, it costs slightly more than a standard package of raw bacon but the trade off is someone else has cooked it and made the greasy mess. It's ready to go right away and you don't have to wait for the bacon to cook before you can eat it so on those busy nights, this is very handy to have on hand. From BLT's to bacon cheeseburgers or even quick bacon and eggs, this fully cooked bacon is a winner in my books.

I absolutely hate frying bacon!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely hate frying bacon, so Hormel Fully Cooked Bacon is great. It's so quick and easy—just heat it up and you're done. No grease splatters or messy cleanup! I also like that it's lower in fat since it's already cooked, and it's an easy way to add a little extra protein to a meal. The best part? It isn't overly salty, and it comes out nice and crispy every time. Seriously, it's so good!

I would buy again if it was on sale & cooked my way
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought the product was very expensive for what you received. I can only find the microwavable version and absolutely takes much longer to cook to get crisp bacon then the directions imply

I wouldn't go out of my way to buy this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It doesn't get greasy, so that can be seen as a perk. However, it reminds me of cardboard bacon. I love Hormel bacon, but this does not take like freshly cooked bacon.

I would buy this product if I need bacon in a hurry.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bacon is great if you need bacon in a hurry or without the big mess that comes with cooking it on the stovetop. The taste is good. The texture is okay. I would buy again.

Definitely buying again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made my fully cooked bacon in the air fryer. It only took a few minutes to cook. I do like my bacon crispy and this was the perfect crispness without any mess. I did not have to stand over a pan with grease splatters and it was just a quick way to have a family favorite of bacon.

Surprisingly wonderful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious this precooked bacon is. I didn't think it would be able to hold up to fresh bacon, but not only does it hold up, it's better!
