It's Bacon !

Great looking stuff -- just don't confuse it with the dog's Beggin Strips.

Now I think I will be in the market for a dehydrator. Those look so good!

Was able to find a piece of bacon jerky that was sufficiently dried. Had to sample it. OMG! This is some incredible stuff. Don't know who's eyes rolled in the back of their head first, Jan or me. Jan's reaction..."isn't there another slice out there that's done?". Thanks to STC for the rub combo suggestion of 4 parts Head Country to 1 part Soileau's. That is an absolute KILLER flavor combo laying on some bacon.

20 hours of drying at 95 as I type.

You are drying this in the dehydrator?

BLSH, funny you should say that about Beggin' Strips because that exactly what I told Jan we were making. I'm telling you after one bite of this you WILL be beggin' for more.

UIS, yes, mine is store bought bacon dusted with the rub combo I mentioned earlier in a dehydrator at 95 degrees. NePas warned me this would be a long process because it takes a lot longer to get the fat part of the bacon dried when compared to the meat part but after that one bite it's worth it.

I am looking forward to giving this a shot.

Rick has one for sale. In a box. :D

I need to try this in my little cheapo dehydrator... It doesn't have a temperature control, though. Kinda goes off of ambient temps.

Mine came out of the dehydrator this morning around 2:30. That's 28 and 1/2 hours. It's currently in a brown paper bag so the bag can absorb any surface grease. Will take it out soon and blot any remaining grease and shoot a pic of the finished results. This stuff is good.

What do you think??

Any pictures or did you eat it all....

Finished product. 6 pounds of bacon makes a lot of Bacon Jerky.

The Head Country/Soileau's Rub gave it a nice finished color. Almost the color of fried but not quite as dark. The parts that still look white just don't have enough rub on them to color them.

I'm pretty sure this stuff can't be good for you. Think I heard one of my arteries slam shut. :D

Looks great Larry

I think my arteries are still trying to recoop :D

Just needs to be accompanied with a sufficient quantity of good solvent to keep things flowing. :D ;D

I couldn't take it anymore. So for our anniversary brunch here at the house. Momma and the kids enjoyed 3lbs of Papa's Maple bacon, 2 lbs of sausage links and a whole loaf of french toast (18 eggs) There is only 4 slices of toast and 5 slices of bacon left!! My bacon fix has been fixed. You can continue posting about bacon jerky now.
