If you really want a good lean bacon, try making it out of boneless pork butts. Note that when cooking bacon made with pork butts, you will probably need to add a little lard. Or better still, add a little saved regular bacon grease to your skillet as it is so lean. Also, they are a lot cheaper than pork bellies. Quite often I can find regular bone-in butts on sale for .99/lb at H.E.B. and on occasion boneless at Aldi for .99/lb. I keep several in the freezer for roasts, stew meat, pulled pork, sausage, mixing with deer for chili meat, etc.
Yep.
Now try Canadian bacon Jim.
It's easier, a little.
Boneless loins are cheap on sale.
My kids eat it cold from the fridge. (I smoke it to 150°)
