Bacon Jerky

[Larry1953]

A few years back Dollar General had a product named Apple Wood Smoked Bacon. It was amazing. Is anyone familiar with it? Or a copycat recipe for it?

Absolutely it was. Right next to Jack Links Teriyaki.

Thinking I need to be on computer to see images. I see nothing here. Man the 60s were good to me.

Never heard of that. But, I've had Jack Links Bacon Jerky which is good.

This stuff was great, But Dollar General doesn't always get the same products twice. They order a trainload the first time, When it's gone, it's gone.

The local BiMart (regional chain store) was selling it for awhile and I bought it when ever it was on sale. Good stuff but I haven't noticed it there for some time.

I'd be Happy to just get a copycat recipe thats somewhere close...Maybe not in the Ballpark, but in the same zipcode. It is very good jerky.

I'm not 100% positive...that happens after ya turn 65, But I don't think it was a popular brand like Oberto or Jack Link, I think it was an off brand. It was priced less than the name brands. I tried Googling a package image..no luck.

If you google there's quite a few recipes out there but most are using a dehydrator or oven. Googling "making bacon jerky in smoker" this popped up but I don't know who this Jeff Phillips dude is.
You could tweak until you get the flavor you want. I'll have to try this one of these days. I think it was Obertos that I bought but I'm sure home made would be better.

Thanks. His recipes look good, unsure who he is neither. But the pictures make me drool.. most of them anyway.

Where in Oregon? 20+ years ago I was from Ilwaco, Loved it there. But the resort I worked for sold out, new owners weren't all that nice. All business.

 

[Norwester55]

Just trying to be funny, he owns and operates this site. I'm in the Salem area, grew up in Warrenton/Astoria across the river from Ilwaco. The coast is a nice place to live but isn't a good place to try to make a living.

I know Astoria well...Spent many paychecks at Annies Upper Town. Loved it there, just didn't pay very well. I made more in unemployment in New York, than I did working 60 hours a week in Washington..Quite a reality check there.
Eagles Nest Resort was fun..but wasn't a money maker.
