The Cut -
Jowl Bacon kind of reminds us of the overlooked middle child. It comes from a very fatty piece of meet where the pigs cheeks are. Its a very versatile bacon that can used interchangeably as breakfast bacon, cooking bacon, or stew bacon! Farmer Bryan's secret is dicing up the bacon and mixing it with ground beef to make the best burger you've ever tasted!
The preparation -
You can do anything with Jowl Bacon that you would do with Belly Bacon. We personally love baking Bacon. Baking needs less supervision, cooks the bacon evenly, and reduces the risk of getting splattered by bacon grease. We suggest baking it in a 350 degree oven for 12 to 20 minutes.
The Location -
It's kind of funny to say, but when you have Jowl Bacon, you're really eating pig cheeks. It's a very small sample size of meat - but it sure does pack a flavor punch!
