Here's an idea for someone with big breakfast plans. Sous vide the whole package of bacon @ 147F for overnight or a few hours. It will then be cooked and tender. All that needs to be done after than is fry it up to crisp and colour it.
I just did a few strips in the SV to test this out and the bacon is very good, nice and tender, melts in your mouth. I really did like bacon done this way.
Breakfast this morning to taste test the SV bacon.
