10 Simple Canadian Bacon RecipesFrom hot sandwiches to delicious stir-fry recipes, here are some of the best ways to eat Canadian bacon
Commonly known as “loin ham” in Japan, Canadian bacon is a smoked, sliced and fully cooked product that you can easily include in any meal.
At Jones Dairy Farm, we naturally smoke our Canadian Bacon slices over real cherrywood chips for a distinctly rich flavor. Certified gluten-free and MSG-free, Jones’ Canadian Bacon is also uncured, meaning it contains less added sodium than most cured meats.
What’s the best way to eat these flavorful slices? From hot sandwiches to quick and easy stir-fry recipes, here are some of our favorite Canadian bacon recipes.
