Dehydrated Bacon

Anyone ever tried dehydrating Bacon? I've been doing Jerky the past month or so and just got the idea to try Bacon. I've done a few google searches but would appreciate some first hand info on it

 

Well everything i read concerning jerky and dehydration said fat spoils. I would assume that means bacon would go rancid.

 

I would think with alot of it consisting of fat it would not be "shelf stable".

 

Why would you want to dehydrate bacon?

 

I would try it if you can dehydrate it - Bacon, the new Salsa. Goes with everything

 

What about those bacon bits for salads aren't those

 

They are made up of only the lean parts of the pork bellies. And with the nature of bacon (nitrates and nitrites) it makes a shelf stable product

 

I agree with above post, too much fat in bacon.

 

Ive had jerky bacon. It sucked.

 

Cook it-throw it in the freezer--works great-ready when you want it.

I had Bacon Jerky from Walmart once and it was actually pretty good. It looked like real bacon, tasted like real bacon, so that means it's real bacon right ? ? ? ha

Would it be possible to trim off the fatty parts? Or is there still just to much fat in bacon for this to be possible

 

I don't think most bacon bits are actually bacon. Most actually say "imitation" bacon bits.
