You may change your mind on that once it has cost you enough.

That’s the ticket to flavor town bacon. Nice work.

Your bacon looks wonderful!

Yep! I have to agree with the enabler part. I think I have convinced my hubbie that we should get an additional fridge. That way he can use the freezer to store hops for brewing and I can use the fridge for random bacon and sausage making sessions. Win, win.

I found this site, tried making my own belly bacon and I tell you C c5ac5b9 it's a bit tough using up the store bought bacon I have in the freezer. It's just not the same.

Thick cut vs paper thin. Bacon flavor vs whatever is in commercial bacon. Being able to adjust the ratios a tad to suit your tastes. Plus I've saved some of the homemade bacon fat and have been using it for frying in general. Bacon ends in split pea soup is also another big plus.
