    Prepare the Bacon

    Start by removing the bacon from its packaging and laying it flat on a cutting board.

    In a large skillet, place the bacon strips in a single layer without overlapping. Cook over medium heat.

    Cooking Time

    Cook the bacon for about 4-6 minutes on one side until it starts to brown and crisp up, then flip and cook for another 4-6 minutes on the other side.

  3. 4

    Optional Seasoning

    If desired, sprinkle black pepper over the bacon during the last minute of cooking or brush with maple syrup or sprinkle with brown sugar for a sweet glaze.

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