Smoked Bacon Super Sampler

Behold: the 5-bacon sampler. That’s right, five of our smoked bacon varieties in one super sampler.

• Applewood Smoked Bacon (1 lb.), our most popular, award-winning sliced bacon.
• Smoked Peppered Bacon (1 lb.), Applewood-smoked bacon hand coated with fresh cracked peppercorns.
• Triple Thick Butcher Cut (12 oz.), hefty ¼” thick Applewood-smoked slices.
• Thin-Sliced Applewood Bacon (1 lb.), our Applewood-smoked bacon thinly sliced.
• Wild Cherrywood Smoked Bacon (12 oz.), all-natural, uncured, and smoked 24 hours over glowing embers of Cherrywood logs.

When we say this is a tasteful gift, we mean it in more ways than one. Five actually. We mean it in five, delicious ways. Total weight of Smoked Bacon Super Sampler (4 lbs. 8 oz.)

To Store: Refrigerate immediately. Vacuum-packaged bacon will keep for 12 weeks in refrigerator, or up to 1 year in freezer. Once opened, use within 1 week.

To Fry: For best results, place bacon in unheated skillet. Cook over MEDIUM LOW heat. Turn frequently until desired crispness is attained. (You'll notice less shrinkage than with other brands.)

Microwave: On microwave-safe plate, place bacon slices side by side between layers of paper toweling. Cook on HIGH for the following approximate times:

Thick Sliced Bacon
2 slices - 2 minutes
4 slices - 3 minutes
6 slices - 4 minutes

Thick Sliced Peppered Bacon
2 slices - 1.5 minutes
4 slices - 3 minutes
6 slices - 4 minutes

Cherrywood Bacon
2 slices - 1.5 minutes
4 slices - 2.5 minutes
6 slices - 3.5 minutes

Thin Sliced Bacon
2 slices - 1 minutes
4 slices - 2 minutes
6 slices - 3 minutes

Triple Thick Bacon
We do not recommend microwaving

Oven-Baked: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place slices close together on rimmed baking sheet (rim prevents grease from dripping on oven's heating elements). For easiest cleanup, place parchment paper on sheet prior to placing bacon (make sure paper doesn't hang over edges of baking sheet). Bake 20 minutes or until desired doneness; no need to turn bacon during cooking. Place bacon on paper toweling to drain.
