1
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip them halfway through for even cooking. Once cooked, remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
2
Prepare the Cheese
While the bacon is cooking, shred the cheddar cheese using a cheese grater or food processor. Set aside.
3
Melt the Butter
In the same skillet used for the bacon, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, scraping any remaining bacon bits from the pan for added flavor.
4
Combine Ingredients
Once the butter has melted, add the shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and gooey, about 2-3 minutes.
5
Add Bacon and Season
Crumble the cooked bacon into the melted cheese mixture. Stir well to combine. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.
6
Serve
Once everything is mixed thoroughly and heated through, remove from heat. Serve immediately as a dip with chips or as a topping for burgers or sandwiches.
