Who doesn’t love bacon? Bacon is a hard one for many to give up. I have meat-loving boys in my house that I work hard to impress with my vegan cooking. This tempeh bacon did the trick. They loved it.

It’s easy to make, and if you want to save some calories you can bake it rather than pan fry (which is actually easier since you can do the whole batch at one time).
