Ranch Dressing-Flavored Bacons

Hormel Black Label Ranch Bacon Combines Two Iconic Ingredients

— March 29, 2024 — Lifestyle
Hormel is taking two of America's favorite ingredients and bringing them together to create its new limited edition Black Label Ranch Bacon.

Available for just a short time, Hormel's new Black Label Ranch Bacon quite literally pairs the "savory smokiness of bacon and the rich, satisfying taste of ranch." This means you essentially get the taste of crispy bacon dipped in creamy ranch dressing in every bite. If this sounds like a strange pairing, just consider that ranch dressing is actually the third most popular condiment in the U.S., according to recent research from Technomic.

The new Black Label Ranch Bacon is available now from grocery stores nationwide and joins Hormel's many other flavored bacon options, including Maple, Jalapeno, Brown Sugar, Maple Black Pepper, and Apple Cider.
