Aldi

This bacon is in the Cult Favorite category, and not for the first time. Apparently the “premium” part of the label makes a difference. As Aldi Reviewer says, “We like it better than the Appleton Farms Sliced Bacon in the cardboard box, and it cooked up crisply both pan fried and air fried, although the bacon does shrink.”
