Looks good, how do you like the taste?

Sammconn:
I don’t think I’ll buy bacon again.

I’m ruined.
 
I used the recipe you posted on the other thread. Thought this was it but oh well.
HH6 doesn’t like bacon, and went back twice for more after supper tonight.
BLTs naturally.

I may have used a bit too much oak.
Did a mix of hickory and oak.
We do like heavy smoke so we love the taste.

Mama hates how salty and whatever else is wrong with store-bought.
Is there really that much crap in it...yes I know is the answer.

I can’t believe I waited so long to do this.
Now I don’t know what to do with the bought bacon in the freezers...

My northern brother.....you are not alone in that thinking....lol

With me now having a job and us buying a house, i dont have 3/4 of the time i used to have to do things like that anymore...  :cry: :cry: :cry:

I have found full cured bellies at the local restaurant supply depo (that are less sodium than the store bought/sliced stuff) and have gotten a few of those and used my house warming gift that my wonderful lady got me to slice it up (imagine 5 x 10lb bellies that are thick sliced and vac sealed in the freezer..lol)

As far as the store bought stuff?  I still buy it to use cubed or if i am making something that i take over to friends houses.  As much as i like the 2-3 friends i do have, i dont love them enough to share my sweat earned home grown/made bacon.
