Hormel announced Thursday that its Black Label bacon brand has launched a new "Hormel Black Label Oven Ready Thick Cut Bacon with Oven Safe Tray."

The patent-pending, first-of-its-kind product brings the convenience of fully cooked bacon while offering a mess-free, easy-to-prepare option for bacon lovers everywhere.

The oven-ready product removes the pain points of traditional bacon preparation: simply place the tray in a preheated oven, cook for 20 minutes — depending on your preferred crispiness— and discard the tray in the trash; no need to touch raw meat or babysit the frying pan, and no cleanup.

Hormel Black Label Oven Ready Thick Cut Bacon is now available at select retailers nationwide — with plans for further expansion in 2025.
