I came across an amazing article about making the best bacon ever, from scratch and I will tell you it's quite a process. The beginning of the article is so well written that I just have to quote it: "Bacon. It has a wonderful place in human history. Humans have eaten it for thousands of years, traded it as a staple of economies, and most recently, turned it into an internet craze. It’s no mystery why we have a love affair with Bacon. It’s the Christina Hendricks of meat products. The smell of bacon soothes a crying infant. Vegetarians make exceptions for bacon. Bacon is the closest we can get to empirically proving the existence of God. Bacon, for lack of a better word, is The Shit". Check out how to make this after the jump:

After researching how to make bacon the writer discovered that not only is it remarkably easy and cheap, it results in bacon so insanely good you’ll wonder if Jesus came down and pissed on your tongue.

Go purchase some pork belly.

Cure the meat.

Smoke the meat.

Cook the meat.

I know that my explanation isn't very specific, but I wanted to show you that you, yes YOU, can make some amazing bacon all by yourself. You're a big boy now. If you want to read the article go here.
