Bacon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Pan

    Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    Lay the bacon strips in a single layer in the hot pan. Ensure they are not overlapping.

  3. 3

    Flip the Bacon

    Cook the bacon for about 4-6 minutes on one side, until it begins to crisp. Use tongs to flip the strips over and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes on the other side.

  4. 4

    Drain Excess Grease

    Once the bacon is crispy and golden brown, remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the crispy bacon strips warm as a side dish.
