Smell the lightly smoky, salty-sweet aroma. Hear the pops and sizzles. Yep, we're cooking up a new add on: bacon! We firmly believe that bacon makes just about everything better. If you agree, snatch up this side and keep it on hand for whenever the craving strikes. We're talking breakfast (with scrambled eggs!), lunch (BLT anyone?), dinner (stirred into cheesy pasta), and dessert (crumbled on top of ice cream—yes, we're serious). No matter how you decide to use it, we guarantee you'll love it. Pig out! The nutrition estimates are representative of a 2 oz serving

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: Flavor is generally good, though some batches were described as bland or ham-like rather than smoky bacon; quality can vary between orders.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to cook in a pan, though the thick, uneven slices make it hard to get a consistent crisp — baking at 400°F for about 15 minutes was a popular alternative.
  • Suggestions: If slices are very thick, extend cook time gradually to avoid tough, chewy results; some found an air fryer gave the best crispy finish.
  • Portions: The package is on the small side — order two packs if you're cooking for more than one or two people.

This bacon is some of the best we have ever had. It's not super greasy and the thickness gives dishes some great flavor.

Like getting multiple packages when on sale. The size is perfect go to when I do not need to open up a 1lb of bacon for a recipe.

I mean, it's bacon! But it was just the right size to give the kids something nice with breakfast, and it's a very tasty bacon indeed.

Order this bacon every time it's offered. Great bacon. Nice thickness. Quantity is a perfect serving size. Offer it more often. Cheers!

Bacon was sliced too thick for my taste. Thick bacon is better when chopped in a salad. There's just something so good about lightly crisped thinner sliced bacon.
