It’s finally here! The most wonderful time of the year, International Bacon Day, is back again, and we’re celebrating the only way we know how: with tons of tasty, slow smoked bacon!

From its place as a crispy breakfast staple to its role as the star of sandwiches, salads, appetizers, and everything in between, bacon has a way of making just about any meal 10x more delicious. This International Bacon Day, it’s time to fire up your frying pans and cook up a certified bacon moment of your own in honor of America’s favorite meat.

At Godshall’s, we believe enjoying healthier bacon options shouldn’t mean choosing between great flavor and the way you want to live. That’s why, for decades, we’ve been crafting delicious bacon options that deliver the smoky, savory, and sweet flavors people love, while offering choices that can easily fit into a better-for-you lifestyle.

Family Roots, The Future of Bacon

Kick off your International Bacon Day festivities with some light reading about the history of bacon. From the inception of bacon, to the advent of bacon manufacturing, to the meteoric rise of bacon in the modern American diet, you’ll see how society’s relationship with bacon has progressed, and how industry leaders, like Godshall’s, have evolved to meet the demands of the market and the expectations of more conscious consumers.

For generations, Godshall’s commitment to quality has earned us a leading role in turkey, beef, and chicken bacon innovation, creating healthier bacon alternatives for those looking to enjoy it in a different way. Whether you reach for turkey, chicken, or beef bacon, Godshall’s gives you more ways to bring the flavor of real wood smoked bacon to your favorite meals. Many of our lower fat bacon options serve as a leaner, better-for-you alternative to traditional pork bacon, while also offering protein, making them a functional and flavorful addition throughout the day.

Bacon Beyond Breakfast

Like all great holidays, International Bacon Day starts with breakfast. When you’re working with healthy breakfast meats like chicken bacon, beef bacon, and premium turkey bacon, there are tons of tasty, high protein breakfast ideas to try. But why stop there? You can bring bacon to every meal.

Start your morning with crispy beef or turkey bacon layered into an egg sandwich or sprinkled over avocado toast. At lunchtime, upgrade your favorite sandwich with a few slices of bacon or add some crunch to a salad. When dinner rolls around, bacon can take burgers, flatbreads, and so many other dishes to the next level.

If you’re craving bacon-centric recipes for every meal of the day, we’ve got you covered.
