Sometimes I get the cooked bacon, and it is rather good, with no cooking messes.
It is the Hormel Black Label thick bacon. No refrigeration is needed prior to opening the bag of bacon. Some of the warehouse clubs sell it.
What I like is that lots of the fat has dripped off by them cooking it prior to sale, and although for about $12 or so per 9.5 oz 72 slice package, considering you do not have to cook it, the price is very reasonable. Amazon sells it for $5-6 a package more.
I am unsure how much 72 thick sliced pieces of bacon would weigh prior to cooking, but someone here might know.
