Applewood Country Bacon by Burger's Smokehouse 2.5 lbs
Applewood Smoked Bacon is dry rubbed with a recipe of salt, cane sugar and spice. The slow curing allows the mixture to absorb into the slab. Next, the country bacon goes to a smokehouse where it is naturally smoked with applewood. The smoke produces a golden brown finish. The result is a mellow flavor, with a nice balance of spice, applewood smoke, and sweetness that is slightly milder than our Original or Pepper Coated Country Bacon. This Regular Cut bacon is sliced 1/8 inch thick. 2.5 pounds. Sold frozen. Perishable items available ONLY for pickup in store. When checking out, choose delivery option: Pickup in store. Curbside service is available by calling our store from your car when you arrive!
Price: $24.95
