I've been searching for the best method to make homemade bacon and it doesn't get any better than this. Curing bacon can be intimidating, but it is a really easy process once you learn the basics and I give you a step by step guide to perfect DIY bacon. If you don't have a smoker, I'll show you how to make it in the oven, pellet grill, or on the weber kettle so you can follow along with whatever you have.
Basic formula
Uncured Pork Belly
2% meat weight in salt
2% meat weight in sugar
.25% meat weight in curing salt
I had a hard time finding some of the ingredients locally. Here are a couple of links in case you can't find them:
