Bacon

Pork jowl cured with brown sugar, salt, pepper, and #1 for 7 days. Smoked over cherrywood and pecan to 150. Cooling in the fridge and I’ll slice into it tomorrow.

I keep getting ads from a company that sells traps for feral hogs. Feral hogs don’t exist in my area but it makes me wonder if these are free bacon for the taking or if commercial bacon is different from the wild stuff.

Oven baked

Cured with just kosher salt and maple sugar

So someone in my building has forgotten their doordash order and there are six things of bacon and three dozen eggs. It's been a little over 18 hours in 40°F weather. The bacon is Factory sealed and uncured Applewood smoked bacon. Do y'all think the eggs and bacon are still good? Can I cook or freeze the bacteria away? It's just seeing food going to waste nowadays kills me. Side note, i work in a restaurant. So i know FDA guidelines. But best buy and expiration dates are kinda nonsense sometimes

Still my favorite,toast, cheese and plenty of bacon.

What could be better than bacon to start the day? Bacon with scrambled eggs cooked in bacon fat. It was epic! 🤤

What better way to start the day than with bacon! 😀

Homemade dry cured cold apple wood smoked bacon. All the people who post the store bought crap. Really don’t know what you’re missing.
And neither do all the people who brine hot smoke their pork belly.
I’ll give it that it’s better than most store bought. But it doesn’t hold a candle to this.
