I just opened a can of bacon that I "rebel" canned two years ago. I followed all the directions exactly and it is rancid, do not do it. A total waste not even fit for the dog.
Glad you figured it out before somebody ate it.I just opened a can of bacon that I "rebel" canned two years ago. I followed all the directions exactly and it is rancid, do not do it. A total waste not even fit for the dog.
I canned bacon one time, just put in jars raw after wrapping in parchment paper and processed them, turned out good. My one freezer just went out the last weekend and I canned ground beef, crumbles, meatballs and even did some sausage links, all were precooked prior to going into jars. Fat floated to top so hopefully it won't (shouldn't) go rancid.
Just can the bacon grease. Stays stable and full of flavor.How was it canned? I was thinking about doing some, myself, to use as seasoning.

If you only want flavor for beans, peas, etc., you cannot beat Hormel real bacon bits and they have a long shelf life. I've used them a year or two past the expiration date. They are also good on tomato sandwiches and eggs. I only use the older ones for cooking beans and not sprinkling on ready to eat food.
DH got burned out on bacon. I love it but got tired of keeping it just for me...I couldn't eat it fast enough and threw away more than I ate so the real bacon bits work great for us. We use to cook breakfast once or twice a week but when the kids moved out, we got out of the habit. I do intermittent fasting so I rarely eat before afternoon anyway.
