@wallyk @imallears - Sigh, I was equating salt free bacon with no nitrates...but I was mistaken. Now I have to do some more reading to see if I might need to learn a new way to make bacon.

No way on earth I am making my own salt free bacon. I equate bacon to pizza and I will have it when I want it...not too often though.
I cook 6 or so slabs in the oven on parchment paper and just before they are crisp, take them out....drain and cool. Then I wrap in paper towel and put in plastic bag in fridge. Lasts a long time and when I am in the mood for bacon I microwave for about 30 seconds til crispy. Bacon is a beautiful thing and a BLT on whole grain bread is the bomb. And the smell of cooking bacon.....wow......Stick an avocado on the sandwich and it’s even better.
If I find a really good garden type tomato...there is nothing like a tomato sandwich with Mayo on toast.

Oh my...food I rarely eat but will if I wanna.

Thanks. I'm definitely NOT making my own bacon but Smithfield seems like a reasonable option if I feel the need to "splurge". Thank you for doing the research.
