Beef Bacon

Method

Cooking Beef Bacon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Bacon

    Preheat your skillet over medium heat. Place the beef bacon strips in the skillet in a single layer without overlapping.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef Bacon

    Cook the beef bacon for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it's crispy and browned to your liking. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

Making Cheesy Sauce

  1. 3

    Make the Roux

    In the same skillet used for the beef bacon, lower the heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely.

  2. 4

    Add Flour

    Once the butter is melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste and turns slightly golden.

  3. 5

    Add Milk

    Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  4. 6

    Add Cheese and Seasoning

    Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Continue to stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

Serving

  1. 7

    Combine and Serve

    On a serving plate, layer the crispy beef bacon and pour the cheesy sauce generously over the top. Serve warm.
