Hill Meat Co. Peppered Double Smoked Bacon
What it is
This is a package of thick-cut bacon that has been double smoked and seasoned with black pepper. The smoking process imparts a deep, rich flavor. The thick slices hold their shape well during cooking, offering a satisfying chew. It is made from pork and is a common breakfast meat.
How people cook with it
Bacon is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed on its own or used to enhance many dishes.
- Crispy breakfast side
- Sandwich topping
- Salad enhancer
- Flavorful addition to pasta
To cook, place the bacon slices in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the desired crispness is achieved. The fat will render out as it cooks. For a less messy option, you can bake the bacon on a rack set over a baking sheet in a preheated oven. This allows the fat to drip away, resulting in evenly cooked, crispy strips. Drain on paper towels before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
The double smoking process gives this bacon a more intense smoky flavor compared to single-smoked varieties. The thick slicing provides a more substantial texture and prevents it from becoming too brittle when cooked, unlike thinner cuts.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use this bacon for its robust flavor and satisfying texture.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining bacon in its original packaging or an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be used within a few days for optimal freshness and flavor.
