Cooking the Bacon

Prepare the Bacon
Take the pound of bacon and lay it out flat on a cutting board. If desired, cut the bacon strips in half for smaller pieces, or leave them whole.

Cook the Bacon in a Skillet
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the bacon strips in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side until browned.

Flip the Bacon
Using tongs, carefully flip each strip of bacon to the other side. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Adjust cooking time as needed based on desired crispiness.

Once cooked to your liking, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
