Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I stumbled onto a 150 pc package of precooked bacon at a foodservice supply store. Life changer. What it lacks in thickness and flavor is offset by Uber convenience.
Thank you for your service............. I eat three strips and three eggs each day to help lower the bacon glut.

Looks like the link to the image is broken. Is this it?
Since we can buy bacon already cooked (it even has a significant shelf life outside the fridge) I've eaten even MORE bacon. I find bacon difficult to cook properly and easy to ruin when starting from uncooked. Just my thing, but I am SO glad that we now have pre-cooked bacon. I keep two or three packages on hand most of the time. Doing my part to attack the 40 million pound mound. YMMV
I purchased 12 pounds of pork belly at Costco on Wednesday, and on Thursday I cut it up in 3# pieces, made my bacon cure. Today is a flip day, and I hope to smoke it next Wednesday. I am up to the task, I have heard the call to arms, and will be fully responsible for my delicious actions!
I'm so buying that for my daughter. She likes bacon so much that that's what she named her dog.My SIL gave me a T-shirt that says “I was going to grow my own food, but I could not find bacon seeds”.
There's what we call hotel bacon. Super thin and not that good. I don't know how they ruin it.I don't care how poorly it's cooked; there's no such thing as bad bacon.
However, I do prefer it thick. I always get mine sliced about 10 strips to a pound.
I'm a week ahead of you... 10+ lbs of pork belly curing and plan to smoke them tomorrow... I shoot for between 10 days and 2 weeks of curing, do it at a convenient time... This batch has maple syrup... due to relocating over the summer we haven't had any home cured bacon since spring, looking forward to it!
