one of my wife's favorite things I cook up. Plus the bonus of making pork belly tacos when I

smoke up a belly.

Looks good! Nice meat/fat ratio....

Lookin' good!
I still use store bought for wrapping things but my homemade is the regular.
It's nice to be able to make it without so much sodium as well.

Nice looking bacon. Nothing beats home made.

Nice job. I have a 5 pound slab in the freezer I need to cure and get on the smoker. Now that the temps are starting to cool down, I'll have to get on it.

Glad to see this post. I too make my own and the only bacon we buy is to wrap certain foods. Love the look of your bacon. Carry on........

I have to cut mine in half as well to fit in the "smallish" slicer! Great looking bacon.

We haven’t bought bacon in years, but I have come to realize I like Buckboard bacon better than belly bacon. So that the way we roll.

Yup!! I've been cutting mine down for over 10 years!!
Why would anybody need 14" long strips of Bacon.
That's bigger than the plate, and my bread for BLTs is only about 4" to 5" Long & wide.

I have two bellies curing right now in the basic sugar, salt and cure #1. I'll start cold smoking it Sunday or Monday.

Your bacon looks killer.
