I will never buy this agan.

I got this by accident but thought its Hormel it'll be good anyways. Right?!?! Was i wrong!!!! I wish I would have seen the reviews for this product. It is the worst microwave bacon i have ever seen. It takes longer than it would to cook a whole lb in the skillet. Whoever thought this was a good product should be fired immediately!!

Favorite Bacon

I love this bacon. Granted sometimes the slices aren't even but it's not a huge problem. Overall, I love the taste.

Black label is the only bacon brand we buy.

My family loves black label, it makes the best breakfast pairing and the best BLT's. We like crispy bacon, so we make it hot and fast. The only complaint I have is that they no longer make the hickory smoked version. It was so good! Other brands have it, but it isn't the same. I hope they bring it back one day.

I would buy again, just hope quality control can do better

The bacon i purchased today was just of poor quality. Each piece pulled apart in strands and was difficult to cook. I got one full slice out out 7 slices I pulled apart. I have pictures and more then happy to share them. I would appreciate a refund as I thre the rest away because it was just roo annoying to deal with.

A gamble

It's a gamble, sometimes the bacon cooks and sometimes it's still raw although we do everything the same way each time. Almost bought a new microwave until I realized all other food heats normally.

Microwave bacon bags keep popping open

We've been using and enjoying the microwave bacon that cooks in a bag for quite sometime. Very handy for when a quick meal is needed, like blt's. Lately, the side of the bag pops open after a short time in the microwave, and it is ruining the cooking process. The bag doesn't inflate properly to ensure even cooking. It stays flat, which produces two over cooked outside pieces and two raw middle pieces. Something has changed recently with the sealed bags that needs to be fixed. It isn't the microwave 's fault. I have recommended this quick bacon to others, but I can't do that anymore until this problem is corrected.

What happened?

I have enjoyed your original black label as a true example of quality bacon for look texture and flavor. I just cooked a full package the color smell were off the whole time cooking. The bacon never seemed to crisp up like normal, then seemed to want to burn on low heat.now I have eaten this product since I was a child, and I don't think I will buy this bacon again. Even my dog passed on a piece and left it. Please change what ever is different back to the Original Black Label.

I will never buy this again!

I opened a package of Hormel Black Label Original bacon. I was greatly impressed I had scored an excellent cut!! Very even in the meat and fat! Cut it up in pieces to put in greens. It would not brown, no grease, just a watery substance. Also…absolutely no Smokey odor of REAL bacon. I continued to try to brown it. No wonderful smell of bacon. Kind of a funky odor emitted from the pan. I thought maybe my smeller was off, so I added all the other ingredients. I cannot explain the odor..just nasty! After an hour, I took a tiny taste of the broth. I have never in my life tasted anything so nasty! I threw it all out. Will never but this again!!! What the heck was that??? Definitely not smoked pork bacon! The ingredients do not even list pork on the list. 🤷‍♀️. 🤢🤢

We are being robbed!

I got home today with my Hormel black label center cut bacon to make a recipe. When I pulled back the black label, the stack of bacon looked smaller than usual. I decided to weigh it with the packaging and it was 11.7 ounces!!! I pay top dollar for this brand because we love center cut. It's usually a lot of meat, but this time it's loaded with fat! As someone who buys this product often, I'm so disappointed.

Tastes great... When the pouch isn't defective

Been buying this for a few years because of the convenience factor, since it doesn't cost much more than regular bacon. I always buy the family pack, and usually all is well - maybe a pouch here or there pops open beyond the little vent. This last time, 6 of the 8 pouches in one box all split open along the seam. The two that didn't pop all the way open tasted great as usual, but 3/4 of the package ended up in the trash.

Glad I cooked it

Made this for my son and ended up burning my thumb when I opened the pouch. I waited a couple of minutes and steam still burnt me

I will NOT buy this product AGAIN

We bought an 8 pouch box from BJ's. Tried to cook a pouch (4 slice) and the pouch did not cook. We thought we did something wrong so we tried cooking a second pouch. It didn't cook ether. We verified our microwave was working. We then checked the bacon pouches and found the side of all the remaining pouches weren't completely sealed. The same side in the same spot. There is no way to check this before purchasing so we won't waste our money on any more of this product. I guess the Quality or Inspection department of HORMEL, wasn't work that day. Even this review platform doesn't work. Select all that applies won't let you select more than one selection. They give you 4 to select

Love this bacon!

It's always ready in just 3 to 4 minutes in my microwave. It's the only kind of bacon I will buy now.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

No matter how long it "cooks" in the microwave, it comes out raw!!! Thought the first box was a fluke, now the second box is also in the trash. Waste of money!!!
