Bacon Taste Test

When it comes to bacon, I’m an Original girl. I like my slices thin and crispy. But I can also appreciate any other slice of bacon goodness. In a Yahoo! taste test, the best original bacon comes from Ozark Trails with the Hickory Smoked and Peppered Bacon. They suggest eating it on top of a burger or with fried eggs. I suggest eating it (whatever the brand!) as soon as it comes off the frying pan and cools off enough not to burn your mouth!

What’s your favorite kind of bacon? Leave a comment below!

Thanks to @El_Fenix for the link!

I agree. Hot off the pan, over eggs, or with cheddar and a beef patty.

Personally I think turkey bacon is an abomination and shouldn’t even be called bacon. I’m all about original bacon or peppered bacon.

I like mine a little mangled and crispy, so I guess that would make me an Oddball.

Totally agree. Original is best! The crispier the better…

For day-to-day bacon, Oscar Meyer center cut. For special occasions, thick cut peppered Amana bacon (Amana Colony Smokehouse is just 20 minutes away)

But my favorite is Science Diet Jerky strips — it keeps my dogs quiet for awhile.

Bacon MUST be thin and crispy. There is NO excuse for limp, wimpy bacon. Bacon is perfect with eggs, a good burger or just toasted bread and sliced ripe, sweet tomatoes.

Many years ago I had bacon from a can. It was actually pretty good except it was very very salty.

I like mine thin and crispy. And the way I get it that way is to put in microwave in between two paper towels, then nuke for ’bout 1 min per slice.

Peppered, sliced thick double-wrapped around a 8-10 ounce beef filet.

Gotta go with it thick sliced, with a hint of maple syrup.

Hot of the griddle between two pieces of wheat toast, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, mayo on one side, mustard on the other, and fresh cracked black pepper – my secret BLT of the gods.

Michael Hernandez says:

Hot off the pan with the piece still “Bubbling” one sweet blow and off to the depths of my stomach they go to engage my tummy and the rest of my digestive system… =j

Any bacon that was on sale at Rainbow that week. BTW Bacon and Chocolate sounds gross but I had it at the Minnesota state fair a couple years ago, best food at the state fair that year. dead serouis.

Irish back bacon. Has a smoky flavor and is usually lean for bacon. Cooks in seconds and excellent for grilling

Smithfield thick cut bacon..Cook it on a cookie sheet in 400 degree oven ( no mess ) you do not even have to turn it over! In 30 minutes or so–perfect crispy bacon!!!
No messy stove.

I had a desire to start my own organization, however I didn’t have enough of cash to do that. Thank goodness my close colleague suggested to take the business loans. Thus I used the short term loan and realized my dream.

I just got caught up on Battlestar Galactica ? I LOVE that show and should have been watching it all along.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
