Preparation

  1. 1

    Choose Your Bacon

    Select your preferred type of bacon. Options include regular, thick-cut, or turkey bacon.

    Preheat the Pan

    Place a skillet or frying pan on medium heat and let it preheat for 2-3 minutes.

    Once the pan is hot, add the bacon strips in a single layer. Cook for 4-6 minutes on one side until crispy.

    Flip the Bacon

    Using tongs, carefully flip the bacon strips over and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes on the other side.

  3. 5

    Add Seasoning (Optional)

    If desired, sprinkle black pepper, chili powder, or drizzle maple syrup over the bacon during the last minute of cooking for added flavor.

Finishing

    Drain and Serve

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