Thanks. I have seen that article - unfortunately, it does not give a
recipe for the brine.

I would not be opposed to trying this. But I would rather try some
first, to see if I like beef bacon enough to bother making my own.

nope, but many grocery stores seem to carry turkey bacon,
which i find isn't half bad.

You can order it from Thielen Meats in Pierz (famous for their regular
bacon), or make the drive up and pick some up yourself. They also make
beef Italian sausage. Their double-smoked hams are first-rate, too.


Seriously, it's a nice drive. Gawk at the buffalo herd on the outskirts
of town, then select their various parts at Thielen's.

or lunch at the "Bank." I will second Theilen's in Pierz (as opposed to
Theilen's in Little Falls and family dispute - but I digress)

You could probably either get it or special order it from a halal grocery.
Holy Land on Central does beef special order butchery.

Apologies for following up my own post, but it appears from their website
that they sell Midamar brand prepackaged "sliced breakfast beef". Sounds
like bacon!

I found some John Morrel branded Beef Bacon at the Rainbow near the Hub
in Richfield.

It is actually pretty good - I never liked turkey bacon, but this is
fairly similar to pork bacon. Not quite as crisp, but it will work for
me.

Well, you're good to go then!

Do you still have the package? Like almost
all "brand name" meats, I assume that it has
nitrates for preservatives. I'd like to
know...thanks!

Sodium erythobate and sodium nitrite.

Does that make much difference as far as you know?
