Cook the Bacon
Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for oven) or in a hot skillet. Ensure the strips do not overlap to allow even cooking.

Season (optional)
If desired, sprinkle black pepper, drizzle maple syrup, or sprinkle brown sugar over the bacon strips before cooking for added flavor.

Oven Cooking
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Skillet Cooking
Cook bacon in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until crispy, flipping occasionally.

Drain Excess Fat
