Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Take the pound of bacon out of the packaging. Lay the bacon strips flat on a cutting board.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Place a large skillet or frying pan on the stove over medium heat. Allow the pan to heat up for a couple of minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    Once the pan is hot, add the strips of bacon in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook in batches if necessary.

  4. 4

    Flip the Bacon

    Cook the bacon for about 5-7 minutes, or until it starts to brown. Use tongs to flip each strip over and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain the Fat

    Once the bacon is cooked to your desired crispiness, use tongs to transfer the strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.

  6. 6

    Season (Optional)

    If desired, sprinkle black pepper over the cooked bacon for extra flavor. For a sweet touch, drizzle some maple syrup over the bacon.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the bacon warm as a side dish, in a breakfast burrito, or on a sandwich.
