Dehydrated Bacon
-
Well I gave up on the dehydrator, even though mine has a setting for 160, I dont think it was anywhere near it, as I had the bacon on for around 8 hours and it wasn’t done yet. Now I’ve got them finishing up at 150 in the oven with the convection fan on.

Had to try this today. Used three different seasonings just because I could. This was think cut bacon. Was in the dehydrator for 4 1/2 hours. Was still a little greasy when I pulled it out but was heading to another gig.
Laid on paper towels to cool, package up and headed to a friend’s house. They all loved it.

Salt and vinegar… Surprising very good.
Garlic pepper… Very good.
Bloody Mary wing shake… Outstanding.
Nothing like bacon with a little kick.Will definitely do this again. Wish I would have tried the garlic romano on this.

Damn. Sorry to hear that. Wow. -
PapaSop what kind of dehydrator are you using? Maybe I’m looking for the wrong texture for it to be done??

Old Nesco. Meat itself was done. Fat was a little greasy but after cooling and sitting a bit it was great. First time ever having some grease drippings in the bottom of the dehydrator. Now for doing dishes… Argh. -
Tex_77 Yeah if you were going for 8 hours then something was up. you could try an oven for a short period of time and then move it? That way at least you know you are safe.

I seasoned it with Butcher BBQ Butchers Private Seasoning. I’d post the finished product, but it won’t upload, but here’s what it looked like to start.
