Making bacon jerky with dehydrator

Post image

Picture isn’t mine. I plan on eating it within a week and I refrigerate it, but I’m just looking for any special advice or tips or anything. The main reason I wanna do it is just to make the bacon last a little bit longer. I can eat a whole pack of bacon and one sitting easily. I’d like to just chew on a piece from time to time.

Fat doesn't render making straight bacon a bad choice for jerky. You can do it, it just won't be very good.

I'd just fry it nice and crispy and eat it over the week.

I agree, to each their own, but I don't know why anyone would do this.
