This is pretty cooking stage. 3 pounds of Smithfield thick cut, 2 pounds of hormel natural choice, 2 pounds of hornel cherry wood black label, and one pound of a local meat shoppes peppercorn bacon. Going to eat one pound, save another 2 or so for snacking, then I'll dice the rest and freeze for later recipes that require bacon bits and whatnot. I'm from Minnesota and our hotdishes are great with bacon bits haha

    Also don’t worry guys, I cleared the stove of the plastic packaged bacon before cooking. Everything came off the stove top except the beer.

    That’s like… only less than a 1 week supply of bacon

    Holy smokes!

    You’re intending to pan fry 7 pounds of streaky bacon.

    The project manager in me is really looking hard at your raw to cooked conversion rate time estimates.

    Also, do not underestimate shrinkage from each batch as they come off, after your chef’s 1lb cut of whole thing.

    To each their own, and probably too late, but I’d cook that in the oven. If you don’t have baking pans, ok-enough disposable aluminum backing pans can be had from the dollar store. I’ve actually seen really decent parchment paper there, too, for ultra cheap.

  4. Making bacon is not very hard it takes a long time but it is not very hard cooking bacon is also tasty
