Optional Seasoning
Method
Preparation
Choose Your Bacon
Select a pound of your favorite bacon. You can use thick-cut or regular-cut bacon depending on your preference.
Optional Seasoning Prep
If you want to enhance the flavor of your bacon, prepare a mixture of black pepper, maple syrup, brown sugar, and chili powder in a small bowl. Adjust the quantities to taste.
Cooking
Cook the Bacon
Place the bacon strips in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; it’s best to cook in batches if necessary.
Fry Until Crispy
Cook the bacon for about 6-8 minutes on one side until it starts to brown. Flip the bacon and cook for another 4-6 minutes until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
Optional Glaze
If using the optional seasoning, brush the mixture onto the bacon during the last minute of cooking for a sweet and spicy finish.
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Serve hot.
