What it is
This is a package of uncured bacon made without added sugar. Uncured bacon is typically cured using natural sources like celery powder, which contains naturally occurring nitrates.

How people cook with it
Bacon is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in many ways. Its savory flavor and crispy texture add depth to a wide range of dishes.
- Breakfast side dish
- Sandwich topping
- Salad ingredient

To prepare, place slices of bacon in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the desired crispness is reached. For a less messy option, you can bake the bacon on a rack set over a baking sheet in a preheated oven. Drain the cooked bacon on paper towels to remove excess fat before serving or incorporating it into other recipes. The rendered fat can be saved for future cooking.
