Hah! $1 plus tax at Dollar Tree! Double-guns!

Cutting down on bacon, myself. But frying/baking and freezing a bunch at a time is something I never considered. Also microwaving.

I like pre-packaged but every now and then you want the kind that isn't already cooked. There's a sort of crispiness and juiciness about it that you won't find with pre-cooked.

Sometimes I can't get the regular bacon cooked just right in the microwave (and I hate cooking bacon in a skillet) so it's nice to know I can't really overcook the pre-cooked bacon. [Sure I can but I'd have to cook it for over 90 seconds]

I'm afraid of what they did to bacon to make it shelf-stable. It doesn't even need refrigeration, does it?

I haven't tried it, but I bet someone on here has by now. The thread is about 3 years old. The reason I haven't tried it? The price, plus we try to stay away from prepared foods as much as possible.
