Bentons, the king of belly bacon! |

I either stop by Mr Bentons place of business or I order each year several pounds of bacon, I love the deep, deep, deep, hickory smoke flavor and aroma in almost all of my cooking. All good Southerners and more than one NYC high falutin Chefs use it mainly for the bacon grease for flavoring. It is such a concentrated bacon flavor, much more intense than any store bought bacon, that I can cook healthily and still have my bacon essence in my food. I use EVOO in almost all of my cooking because I can add just a quarter to a half teaspoon of my Benton Bacon Grease along with the healthy fat and it's A much healthier, better tasting meal.
I put my bacon a pound at a time in the oven at 300 degrees and I bake it until all of the fat has been rendered, I then drain the fat off into my mason jar, put a lid on it and keep in the fridge.
