1
Prepare the Bacon
Take the thick cut bacon out of the package and lay it flat on a cutting board.
2
Preheat the Pan
Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
3
Cook the Bacon
Once the pan is hot, carefully lay the strips of thick cut bacon in a single layer in the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook in batches.
4
Flip and Cook Until Crispy
Cook the bacon for about 4-6 minutes on one side, or until it starts to crisp up. Flip the bacon strips and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes on the other side, adjusting the time as necessary to reach your desired level of crispiness.
5
Drain and Serve
Once the bacon is cooked to your liking, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease. Serve hot.
