Main Ingredient

Optional Seasonings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Take the pound of bacon and lay the strips out on a cutting board. If you prefer thicker pieces, choose a brand that offers thick-cut bacon.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Stovetop Method

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the strips of bacon in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

  2. 3

    Fry the Bacon

    Cook the bacon for 4 to 6 minutes on one side, or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. Flip the bacon and cook for an additional 4 to 6 minutes.

  3. 4

    Optional Seasoning

    If using, sprinkle black pepper, or drizzle maple syrup and sprinkle brown sugar over the bacon during the last minute of cooking for added flavor.

  4. 5

    Drain the Bacon

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