The BEST Vegan Bacon EVER MADE is BACK

Go to Trymiracle.com... and use Code Saucestache at checkout for over 40% off and FREE 3 Towels.
Hooray Foods made arguably one of the best vegan bacons you could buy, but unfortunately they went out of business. Food production is a tough tough world, but being the amazing company they were they actually released their recipe!! So I wanted to give it a try and give my own vegan bacon spin on the whole thing!
Now this is super similar to how I already make my vegan pepperoni recipe and a few other starch based vegan bacons so I was excited to see what I could do here.
This recipe is easy, doesn't take very many ingredients and can make enough to have a freezer full of vegan bacon for some time!

That's so cool how instead of being like, "if I can't make this, no one can!" that they decided to share it with everyone. Sucks that they went out of business tho

[@SauceStache]

It really is awesome!! like I get why some companies don't do it, you never know if you can come back, but at the same time good for them for just releasing it anyway. They knew they had something awesome

[@msjkramey]

@@SauceStache I don't think releasing the recipe necessarily prevents them from coming back either. People love convenience foods. I've watched plenty of videos on fermentation and tofu making, but at the end of the day I still buy my kombucha, kimchi, and tofu. I love making my own vegan cheeses, but I still buy the pre-made stuff. I think it's a good PR move in case they ever get funding again because it shows that they're not gatekeeping, you know?

[@andrewwashere82]

​@@msjkramey Well said!

[@eugenetswong]

I agree with all that. In fact, I wish that they would have put their concerns out to the public earlier in hopes of somebody suggesting a new business plan.

[@eugenetswong]

@@msjkramey Good points about coming back. As it is, people can make their own bacon from scratch, or just buy raw bacon, but they still buy cooked bacon, so clearly, there is still a market for this.

[@Hobo_X]

In a way it's sad they released their bacon recipe, because by doing so they show how much they truly cared about their goal for why they're making vegan bacon to begin with. It sucks to see companies don't succeed that had real passion

[@TigerGreene]

Long ago, one of my favorite vegan restaurants closed down. I asked them for recipes and they were cool enough to give me some! Now any time a vegan restaurant closes, I ask. 😊 (some actually have their own cookbook already!)

[@SauceStache]

I had that happy recently and was told no, I totally understood hahaha but man I woulda loved a few of these recipes!

[@TigerGreene]

@@SauceStache That's a shame. Thankfully KZbin and the web are full of creative resourceful folks like you to reverse engineer amazing meals and share it with everyone! haha Out of curiosity, can I ask what was the restaurant you were trying to get recipes from, and/or the meal?

[@margarett_b]

I had no idea they shared their recipe - this is so kind of them actually! So sad people this thoughtful don't get to make a life doing what they're passionate about! I am sure not many people will try to make this (it is still quite a lot of work) BUT it's awesome we have a resource like this as they've put a lot of time and expertise into developing the recipe!

[@victoriawinters2887]

I was wondering why I couldn't find this vegan bacon in stores anymore. I didn't know they went out of business. I'm so glad that they posted the recipe and you made a video on it. I'm definitely going to try this because I loved the Hooray foods bacon so much.

[@SauceStache]

You're going to love it!! if you head to their instagram they have their exact recipe as their last post! I liked messing with it a bit, this is a fun one to use as a base and build from!

[@u2u4ic]

I’m wondering (for half recipe) if you could skip the red/white steps if you don’t care what it looks like and just do it all one color? Or does the beet juice add flavor too??

[@JTMusicbox]

Didn’t realize how much I missed these bacUn videos until you started doing them again recently! Loving it! One can never have too much bacUn!

[@SauceStache]

I know, im so excited to bring these back! I have a few more up my sleeve for now, but im always thinking!! Another coming late next month!

[@Projectdarksource]

Me too!

[@Bronte-on6tm]

I confess that I have not tried your vegan bacon recipes because I am lazy; however, this recipe looks so easy that I'm gonna give it a try! Wish me luck!

[@MouthBreatherCure]

Have you ever heard of Thrilling Foods, and their bacon? They cook theirs in a traditional smoker, and the creator of it was once a meat eater.

[@lorie4913]

I will look them up . Thanks for the tip.

[@twothirdsanexplosive]

I had Bakon recently at a couple vegan restaurants and it is great! My wife doesn't like smokey foods so didn't like it compared to other vegan bacons. They just more recently were able to beef up production and keep up with demand and enough to sell retail too

[@kenreeve32]

It would be so cool if you cooked all of your different bac'n recipes (or maybe your top 5?) and invited your friends over for a taste test. I wonder which bac'n recipe they would rate the best?

[@katzensindweich3505]

So cool. No animal cruelty ❤

[@aroomofmIOwn]

Just fyi, a half sheet baking pan IS a standard size baking pan to a home baker. That's why your bacon turned out so much thicker than the original!

[@watkinsabob123]

I'm confused. So which size should we use?

[@pearljammies]

@@watkinsabob123​​⁠​⁠a half sheet pan is 18” x 13” , which is what your standard cookie sheet pan is that people will have at home. So use that with the recipe as written! the pan he used here was a half sheet, but he thought it was a whole sheet pan. “full sheet” refers to the size of a full sized sheet cake, which is 18” x 26”

[@nicholastate484]

OHMYBLOB! Hooray, vegan bacon was by far my favorite vegan bacon. Thank you so much for sharing this. I had no idea that they had shared the recipe.🎉❤🎉❤

[@JerryTheVeganRockstar]

Thicker is better. You could cut into cold cut shapes. Maybe a round Canadian bacon with a McMuffin or hollandaise

[@princess3193]

I wanted to try this bacon, but saw some bad reviews so I didn't grab it. Then later I decided to try it anyway and went back to the only store that I knew sold it and it disappeared! I had no idea they went out of business! I'm so mad I didn't buy it when I first saw it, but I'm glad they shared the recipe and I'm going to try this myself when I get some time! 😊

[@indoorkangaroo3431]

Im a little too lazy for making vegan bacon but so my go to is to slice up some halloumi and pan fry it, it gets a little crispy, a little chewy and adds salt as the bacon substition for a egg and bacon sandwich

[@adeleanderson3862]

I bet if you brushed a little Maple syrup on it before you fry it, would be extra tasty

[@CH3R.N0BY1]

i love it when companies do this. if you're discontinuing something, whether it be a food or a program, make it open source so the people that like it can still have it

[@di_nwflgulf3547]

And I used cassava ..yes fresh beet juice too...

[@RyanLaliberteMusic]

[@corbanx0809]

Only a tsp of salt? Sounds like a scant amount. I guess I have to try it. Thx for sharing this.

ive tried every bacon recipe you have made...now this one i got to try since i dont eat pork anyways...but i do miss the taste of bacon. Ive moved to the south where they do not sell vegan/vegetarian things like i was accustomed to so this is a very welcomed recipe! thanks

[@johnnyli4702]

What's the best way to add about 3g of protein to each strip without drastically altering the taste and texture?

[@AudaL]

Wow i didn’t know they went out of business that’s cool they shared their recipe

[@ghosttheoremproductions5469]

Hmm. This makes me wonder if adding some shredded carrot would help mix up the texture and give it some chew. Maybe a different veg but same idea. I'd definitely add vegimite/marmite to the light mix to give it more deep color and umami. Maybe try some molasses too.

[@ViaAngeles-ve5uj]

Question: you said this hooray "bacon" was "near the daikon bacon" in quality - of the two, which do you prefer? Thanks very much! I may add some strips of rice paper along the white parts for added crunch. And use a combination of molasses (diluted) and syrup. I'm not vegan but tips like yours give us options when keep getting more expensive. These wd be great snacks, in biscuits & BLTs, and in salads for people avoiding meat or just pork (kosher or sensitivities)

[@ErikaF8]

As soon as I saw that wrapping paper, I thought of Gma's house growing up. She only bought meat from the meat market & they would wrap it in white paper. As always, this was so cool to watch, but it was more crispy than I'd like. I would def have to figure out how to get that chewy-crisp. 🥓

[@SauceStache]

I definitely over crisped them haha 😂 you can cook them a little less than what I did and you’ll get the chewy crisp for sure!

[@ErikaF8]

@@SauceStache Noted!!

[@janerainbow22]

Still my favorite vegan bacon is Happy Veggie World. Heavily dependent on soy and wheat protein and MSG and other related amino based salts. The kind of processed food carnists love to hate on, despite the fact that the real thing is a class 1 carcinogen. This looks pretty good. I've made wheat starch bacon from left overs of wtf seitan, and feel I've improved flavor by adding a protein source. Get a m8x of chewy and crispy. Also add a touch of cloves, mustard and fennel.

[@baileez821]

I really like Morningstar's bacon. But this recipe is worth a try.

[@fgknows]

I tried this recipe and was extremely pleased with it. Although mine's was very thick. Why? I listened to you and I'm thinking, you used a full sheet pan. So I think my 9x12 cookie sheet will be the correct size, since you said you used a larger pan. Reading the comments I have learned that we both were wrong. You really had a 1/2 sheet and not a full size and my cookie sheet was really too small. 🤦🏾 BUT it still came out delicious! It fried up very well and was chewy like real meat. I have almost eaten the entire pan!! It keeps you coming back for more and more! Great recipe, THANKS!! By the way, will use the correct size pan the next time I make it👍🏾

The thicker slices being better is probably why they said to use a half pan....your batter would have spread out less resulting in a thicker slice.

[@andrewwashere82]

What would happen if you didn't add the the maple syrup? I've never been a fan of savory & sweet foods.

[@SauceStache]

You would lose a lot of that bacon flavor... I know it's odd but that maple syrup plus the smoke and salt really add up to the bacon taste. You dont get a sweet and savory like taste from this.

[@ViaAngeles-ve5uj]

Maybe try some diluted molasses? Less sweet and has a dark flavor consistent with meat
