*Laurie’s Note: Hey, I’m from Iowa and growing up, we raised hogs back on our farm. Don’t skimp on the quality of your bacon! I never buy pre-packaged bacon. I splurge a little and get a good quality, thick-cut bacon from the butcher counter. If you use a poor quality bacon, it shrivels up to nothing and your efforts will be swimming in grease.
