The Makers of HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® Bacon Introduce OVEN READY™ Thick Cut Bacon

A first-of-its-kind convenience product, patent-pending OVEN READY™ Thick Cut Bacon allows for effortless bacon preparation

AUSTIN, Minn., Sept. 26, 2024/PRNewswire/ -- The makers of HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® Bacon are committed to pushing the boundaries of bacon innovation, and today, the brand is once again revolutionizing the category with the launch of its latest patent-pending product: HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® OVEN READY Thick Cut Bacon with Oven Safe Tray. This first-of-its-kind product brings the convenience of fully cooked bacon while offering a mess-free, easy-to-prepare option for bacon lovers everywhere.

This product removes all the pain points of traditional bacon preparation. Simply place the tray in a preheated oven, cook for 20 minutes (depending on your preferred crispiness) and discard the tray in the trash - no need to touch raw meat or babysit the frying pan, and no cleanup. Whether it's for breakfast, a quick snack or as the ultimate topping on your favorite dish, this new product ensures that consumers can enjoy premium-quality bacon with no mess and no hassle.

"As a brand that's always been at the forefront of bacon innovation, we wanted to bring our consumers a product that makes enjoying our signature HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® Bacon even more convenient," said Aly Sill, senior brand manager for HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® Bacon. "With OVEN READY Thick Cut Bacon, it's never been easier to enjoy the unmatched flavor of HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® bacon. Our Oven Safe Tray delivers eight perfectly cooked slices, every single time."

HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® OVEN READY Thick Cut Bacon is now available at select retailers nationwide, with plans for further expansion in 2025.
